I bought this for the sole purpose of cycling from Dieppe to Barcelona on it. It did that, very well. Now I must sell it. It has a beautiful paintjob and lovely lugwork.
The previous owner has repainted over some of the silver areas of the frame with Matte Silver paint which you cannot tell from any further than a metre away. The serial is still visible on the BB shell and is present on the steerer tube as well. I have checked this with Mercian, this is the 4th frame built in 1996.
Tubing is 531C.
It comes with a Campagnolo Mirage headset which is in decent condition and a Shimano UN-55 BB which has been used for 1500km to Barcelona only. Also included is the seatpost which came with the frame when I bought it, it is ever so slightly too small and slips when put under a lot of force - but served me fine on my journey.
The frame has the expected scratching and it looks to be a little rusty at the dropouts sadly - there is a noticeable scratch where the rack was mounted for touring which I have taken a picture of.
