Cool Blue Mercian 725 Strada Speciale - now built

velocity boy Aside from those two things... that's a damn sweet build. And it's really pleasing to see someone who knows where to put the pedals when photographing their bike.

What? On the cranks? :P

I like the frame, the wheels/tyres, cranks and post although I'm now not sure about the ergostem - just looks funny to me off the track. The bars.. not for me. Nor the saddle. Very pretty result overall.
