Man, even with the Dura Ace groupset and access to the time machine the seller pulled this bike out of, I have no idea why the bidding is getting as high as it is (currently £600). Can anyone else clue me in? I mean, it's a great looking bike, but my understanding was that Mercier made good frames for their day, but by no means were they amazing. I actually recall seeing an amazing Jack Taylor tourer going for less than what this Mercier is already at!
Here we go. Two Merciers (one looking almost identitcal) for the price of 3% of the one in question. Granted, it appears they wont ship, but even with that, you could get a flight down to Marseille, take a holiday, and bring the bikes back all for less that other Mercier is looking to fetch.
