1993 Mercian Pro Lugless Fillet Brazed 531c Bike for sale. It is a stunner, which I got from the original owner. Unfortunately the TT is touch too short for me and I am going away for a few months, otherwise I'd be keeping it. Please excuse the angle of the seat in the pics.
S/T is 62cm, TT is 57.5cm as I measure it.
Looking at the original build sheet, S/T is 24 & 3/4"" (63cm) , TT is 22 & 3/4 "" (57.8cm).
This would have been built for audax and light touring and the original owner who I met was very fond of it over a 30 year period. Mechanically it is in great condition. Cosmetically it is in even better condition - the frame is immaculate. Rear spacing is 130mm so this could easily take a modern groupset (your prerogative, but don't do that!!).
Wheels: Mavic MA2 rims on Shimano Deore DX hubs.
Headset: Deore
Drive train: Shimano Deore & Deore DX, 105 shifters. 7*3.
Brakes & levers: Shimano 105
Colour: "Deep Plum Pearl"
Other: comes with its original paperwork, 3ttt stem, Modolo bars, some spare calipers & brake pads, old chainrings.
You can still buy this frameset (albeit different tubing) today.
£495 collected from Bristol. It could be taken to Derby too in around 2 weeks. Stack of pics here and will add some to the thread itself.
