  • Hello,
    I hope you don't mind if I add my custom King of Mercia to proceedings? After a wait of thirteen long months the stunning frame is now built up with as many Italian jewels as funds would allow. She was delivered to me in June, she's called Eileen and I'm in love.

  • Cheers!
    Parts are Veloce 170 triple chainset (I'm hopeless with hills) and front mech. Sun XCD rear mech (the lovely Suntour Cyclone MK1 long cage that I sourced broke on the first outing). Centaur dual pivots and bottom bracket. Super Record brake levers and Record headset, seat post and small flange hubs. Mavic Ma2 32/40. 3TTT Record 84 stem, Morphe bars and tape. Suntour Perfect 14-24 6 speed freewheel. Brooks B17 Special. Crank Brothers Candy pedals. TA bottle cages and as many beautiful Campagnolo clips as I could use!! I think that's it?! Mercian said they only had a couple of sets of the limited 531 tubes left when I was measured up for this frame, so I'm very pleased I was able to own one. I was adamant about having a spot of chrome and the fork crown was the cheapest option but as you'd expect, it's stunning. I've only done century rides since building the frame up and those 400 miles have been glorious. Thanks again.
