Current Projects chat and miscellany

Hi all,

Here are some pics of my Mercian recently (finaly should I say) arrived in London after a month of long waiting for it and trying not to be too impatient, and that I am currently refurbishing. I am keeping it as a touring geared bike. However the rear wheel (27X1-1/4) has actually a flip flop hub, so I can go fixed anytime, FTW!

A good friend spotted this beauty for me on the bay, and his helps was precious to make this happen! Thank you man!

I love the bike, it is a very smooth ride! As soon as everything is sorted (new tyres, new seat post - the original one is a little too short for me - and some details here and there) I will post new pics!

And details of the lug work:

If anybody could give me infos on the model that this might be... Looking at Mercian website and Classic Rendez Vous, I feel that this might be an Olympic, but I am just guessing there...

It's probably a KOM or a professional but Mercian should be able to tell you from the Serial number.

Nice bike,
