As title, frame and forks for sale:
What I believe to be a Mercian Pro frame from the late 1970s. I built it up in hope of restoring it, however it's too big for me. It could do with blasting and re-enamelling to restore it fully as the paint is scrappy, but is still a functional frame right now. Has lovely 3 inch spearpoint lugs around the bottom bracket to give extra stiffness, wrapover seat stays, Cinelli sloping fork crown, Campag dropouts and a serial number on the BB shell. The head decal was an unusual 'M', though Mercian said to me that the original customer may have asked for that. Negatives are that the drive-side dropout was slightly bent out of true when I bought it, so it has been carefully bent back to position, though the dropout adjuster screw threading seems to be affected as it currently will not accept a screw all the way. There is also a braze on missing for front mech.
