Morning,

Finished the Mercier last week, the decals arrived on thursday, and I tried to take some "nice" pictures yesterday in the sun... I am very happy with it!

Voila...

Just to put it into context, the bike looked like this when I got it in France this Christmas (picture from the french website I bought is from) bike is most definitely a Mercier, old transfers were present under this poor paint job (even the headset and BB cups had been painted!):

And the idea was to make it (kind of) look as per Raymond Poulidor's track bike:

Loic

whohoo, nice one loic. i'd say you met the one in the picture almost spot on. lovely. i see now, since you have a proper racer, you bling and hipsterize the 80's time machine ;) haha
