Patriotic Mercian and a Peugeot 531C frameset

Having to clear out some bits from my mum's as she's sold her house, and something that needs moving on is this unique Mercian.

Not sure how old it is exactly, but I bought it on a whim from ebay a few years ago, and the seller told me it featured on the cover of one of the Mercian catalogues in the 80s (I have no way to verify this). Believe the unique painting was carried out by Mercian themselves. The 531 frameset is in near mint condition, and comes with a variety of unknown Campag parts, unknown chainset, and an Ambrosio/Campag wheelset with new tubs. Believe TT on this in 55cm. I have never actually ridden it but the frameset could possibly be great for modern group upgrade, or just keep it as it is. Unsure how to price this, so lets start at £650 > 520 >480 > 440 collected from Leicestershire (or can discuss postage).

Next is a Peugeot 531C frameset. It's in very good condition, and could be NOS, apart from where a band on has been overtightened a bit. 53 ST/54cm TT, comes with a very good condition Shimano 600 headset. I bought this originally from here for a very good price, so am passing the good deal on (I haven't used it since I bought it either!). £60 > 50 > 45 >40 collected from Leicestershire (or can discuss postage).

so upset that the peugeot isn't bigger! GLWS

you should sell the Mercian to Mercian, they might be interested.

I have messaged them - at a minimum, maybe they can tell me if the catalogue cover story is true...

Peugeot is a steal but I have too many frames already, have a bump, GLWS

Drops!

If anyone remembers the original Richard Ballentine cycling book from the 1970s…on its cover was a FW Evan’s bike and it looked gorgeous…and the Mercian looks very similar in shape…GLWS.
