I visited MERCIAN yesterday and ordered a new frame.
The idea is to build a 'road track' suitable for training rides at the Hippodrome d'Auteuil in Paris and for Sunday rides out into the country, maximum distance less than 100 miles. The bike shall be ridden on the road and not on an indoor track and I doubt that I shall ever spend more than one day in the saddle at anyone time. The idea of going for a Mercian was to try to recreate that old skool English track bike look. Specifically I am trying to make this bike look like a bike that could have been ridden in England in the 1970's, both on the road and at the race track.
So I thought I would start a thread where I could share and discuss the build.
