• It’s been a slow burner but my Fugio 853 is coming together.

  • You get mudguard mounts put on too? Nice.

    Also, seen this a few times now on IG but I still can't read what it says on the downtube.

  • Yes has mudguard eyelets brazed onto the dropouts, quite likely I’ll want to run guards at some point down the line.

    Fugio is Latin for to flee/fly... I didn’t really like the name, and I’m not that big a fan of genesis branding (despite currently owning 3 of their frames)... mercurial was a synonym of a synonym of fugio. I liked the definition of lively, changeable and unpredictable - a bit like the type of riding the bike does. Also mercurial as in mercury, a silvery grey metal. So Mercurial the brand was born and @darlojim did the rest. Didn’t want the decals to stand out too much but up close and in the light they really sparkle.
