The next measurement taken was the top tube length
Setting the stem length to 100mm
Mercian then adjusted the top tube length on their jig
for a 'comfortable fit'
This came 55.5 cm
Which makes this frame 55.5 cm square
There is something reassuring about that
Something to do with being nicely proportioned
So now we have
MERCIAN 'Strada Speciale' built as a 1970's 'road track'
chrome track drop outs
55.5 cm Square
73° seat tube angle
