I remember a simpler time on this forum, back before we all became obsessed with sheds, gravel bikes, extensions and kids. A time when a current project thread involved little more than autosol and a new chain. It was all about lopros, resto-tarck and fawning over constructeur built french bikes.
The pizza, pelago and 24pack racks were little more than a glint in the milkman’s eye and we lusted after the romantic chic of a genuine porteur bike...
Ok, so I didn’t need to buy this and can’t afford to do much with it BUT, I’ve wanted a real porteur for god knows how long now. After a bit of excess over nye I put a stupid offer in on this Mercier. I forgot all about it but the guy just messaged and looks like I’m picking it up at the weekend.
Looks complete and straight. Fingers crossed I can go front to back and just replace consumables. Paint is rough but no way I’m looking at respray/decals any time soon.
