Got hold of an '81 Mercian touring frame/forks with a record headset on eBay. I'd budgeted for a respray, but to be honest the paint is pretty good (midnight blue). Anyway, perhaps i'll have it sprayed in a light blue at some point.
The real question is what do I hang off of it?
It'll probably be geared (shock horror), as I have a fixed and a singlespeed already.
Going to put a Brooks B17 in honey and honey tape, but that's as far as i've got.
I could do with some help on the stem/bars/post. Silver to be in keeping with the colour scheme. I like the look of Nitto stuff, but finding any is proving difficult. Also, any suggestions on which ones? Any other similar makes?
Suggestions on gears and wheels too if you like.
Cheers.
