Hi

I have just purchased a Mercian Mountain Bike frame and I need:

A decent preferably Shimano 1" threaded headset

A 1" stem

A bottom pull 28.6mm clamp 7 speed front mech Shimano XT; LX; DX.

Please let me know what you have got.

Thanks in advance.

Mercian mountain bike, wow, that's niche. I have a nineties Condor that I'm very proud of. I know some people really like the old steel Colnago MTBs.

I guess you mean 'vintage' not 'retro'... Retro means newly made in an outdated style. #pedant

Oh I forgot to say I don't really have any suitable parts. Look out for the salsa steel quill stems, they're nice. Unfortunately, though, a bit popular here with the fixieskidders for some reason.

Hi Skully

It is a 1989 Pro lugless Reynolds 531 All Terrain in grey and pink with white stars, came off eBay they had listed it as a King of Mercia. I'll post some pictures when it is built.

Did you see the other Mercian Mountain Bike on eBay with a BIN? Was a bargain

Nice stealth thread title edit ...

Wow, no I didn't see them. Yours sounds NUTTY. Look forward to seeing it. It's good for you when people describe their sales badly. My Condor's a 'lugless'/ fillet brazed 853 thing, it's lovely. I have some crappy parts on it, keep meaning to replace the shitty suspension forks.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
