For Sale: Beautiful Mercian (again!)

***** SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD *****

After being completely fucked over by Joe the last time i listed this it is for sale again! I am still finding it hard to pay the bills and therefore had to sell my Mercian, I held the frame back for 2 weeks so Joe could pick it up from London. I have just been informed today that he will not be buying the frame, therefore i have waited about 3 weeks without payment, what a cnut, so here we go again.

I have a Mercian frame for sale. Bought this from eBay a while ago with the intent of building up a nice vintage racer. Pretty much got all the parts to complete the build but hit some financial difficulties at the moment, so need to sell it, sadly before i have even finished the build and ridden it.

£175

Details:

top tube c to c 54 cm
seat tube c to c 56 cm

27.2mm seat post.
130 mm rear spacing.
Wrap over seat stays.

Includes headset and bottom bracket (not other parts pictured).
Very good condition, one or two small chips here and there, but no rust, dents or
cosmetic damage.

The front wheel is part of a campag record wheelset i have for sale too, if interested in the wheelset pm me for more detials.

Really don't have time to ship or deliver it, so collection only from London, Elephant & Castle.

what a fucking dick! nice frame.

Sorry to hear that - too far north of Milan for my taste, but lovely nonetheless! If I didn't have the EU Moser mountain to clear I'd be tempted ;-)

If I manage to sell my single speeder this week i'll have some cash so give you a shout. Won't know till Friday though so if it goes it goes

Thats a beaut, not quite sure my flat could cope with another frame though.

Fair enough, If I was you I'd be pissed too. In my defense though I've had a lot going on which led me to act in a cuntingly fashion. I have bought and sold with no probs on here before so hopefully this will be the first and last time I royally fuck up

tut tut joe. ;)

if i hadnt bought two frames in the last week, i would consider cutting myself down from 6'4 to fit this frame. that frame is sex on wheels. (edit: wheel)

If i were not reduced to being on 'benefits' at the moment...i would sell my Raleigh 531 team replica for your lovely Mercian.....best of luck.

Thanks for the comments. Joe, fair enough you fucked up and all, everyone does it, but when i phoned you you sounded like you didnt even remember buying it. Such a shame to be selling this, as it is seriously nice, but i need the cash :(

@Marxist_fixie Arghhh lovely, i have such a thing for Raleigh team, maybe its the red. . .the yellow ... and the black mmmmm

Oh and hewitt :) mmmm lovely frame. . . (oh yeah, wait , we have already had this discussion haha)

Rocker you are such a fucking lurker ;)

Your everywhere.

Are you london based?

sorry about thread hijack.

Thanks unkle :) no im not! i just have to much free time on my hands in the countryside (west midlands) why do you ask?
(have you noticed i manage to answer within 5 mins) incredible, i know!

Have you got Campag quick release leavers on the Mercian? Nice!

With reference to the frame have you got far with your £175 price tag?

gbestley

gbestley, the wheelset i have do have campag quick release leavers. With regards to the price, i have only listed it an hour ago, so no luck yet. But i don't think that the price tag is over-priced (someone please correct me if i am wrong), this is exactly what i paid for the frame, which i have never used, if i cannot get £175 for it then ill just keep it :)

Oh god, I'm in the west mids countryside too, AND I have one of these 531 team raleighs that you like.

Definately not telling you where I live, you might lurker-stalk me.

=p

Totally dumb question but is the rear wheel set-up built for a cassette or track? Might b interested...

Oh hold on, are they tubs?

The wheelset i have available is built up for road, so it takes a cassette. They are 27" highly polished alloy rims laced to 36h campag record high flange hubs for screw-on cassette, also comes with tires that have only been used half a dozen times, 5-speed cassette and 5-speed chain = £150

Clinchers, not tubs

Cheers for that, thought the same but wasn't sure. They are lovely, not sure if my new ride fits 27inchers - will check and let you know :-)
