I bought a secondhand Mercian yesterday. 531c, touring geometry, has entry-level bits on it; Campag Mirage/105, Mavic sup(?) wheels that have a sticker saying they were built by Mercian, and a nice Mercian stamped seatpost. I'm guessing it came originally as a full-build from them. I don't know what model it is. Needs a bit of work. Said seatpost appears stuck (at an inch too short for me), so that will be one of the first jobs if it's possible myself. Then to strip and regrease the wheels etc.
Haven't done a project thread before. I bought this bike specifically to do one and have a bit of fun with it. Pictures to follow...
