For Sale: Mercian 1959 road/path frame 58,58 ctc

I am going to let you scavengers have a go at this first, before it goes on the bay. It has a ding in the top tube which I have had pictures sent to Mercian for their opinion. They tell me that it will not affect the strength of the frame, just to keep an eye on it for cracks. More pictures can be emailed if you are seriously interested. I do not have a price for it as it would be up to you which parts you want. PLease PM if you are interested[URL="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4374900893_55c12e5514.jpg"][/URL]

Oh my days the decals on that are LUST.

Gorgeous.

Stem dibs.

And the block of wood on the floor.

Nice bike too.

Forgot to mention, it is all original paint. I hate to let it go but RAT-bikes are more my thing. And thanks for the kind words.

Seriously think about a starting price. I mean, you're going to get a lot of fishing PMs saying silly things like 'I'll give you £125 for the lot'

£125 the lot

Yes you are right Skully. I payed £560 for the frame and I do understand that I will not get that here. Around 400 to start with i guess.

Holy crap - everything! Almost anyway. Slangen, I've just picked up an almost identical frame off the bay and building up.

Interested in chainset, seatpost, possibly wheels, front brake and possibly saddle.

ps Had to set up another account as i couldn't log in as PQR my normal alias. Do you want to pm me an email as I won't be able to pm yet from this account?

Sorry about this stupid ad, I will specify it in a while...

What kind of rims are those (as matter of interest)?

You have offered an excellent thing, and provided a good description and a great photo. Therefore not stupid.

Hi Slangen,
If splitting then dibs on chain set, bottom bracket, seat post, front brake
Then depending on costs and cash provisional dibs wheels & saddle.
I also have a load of bits to sell so some maybe some form of part ex too if you need anything else

So how much for complete machine?

£125 plus postage?

I was inspired by this Aende on eBay. Down the bottom a guy writes in and offers £25.

that is beautiful!!

Holy shit!?! I'm putting mine up too! Same year... ;]
Lovely frame BTW, is that lpg's old whip?

Jawdropping. Why you selling?

Meant to add, that is one of the most seriously beautiful machines I've seen in a long time.

Can you make the frame 1 1/2 inches bigger please?

It is indeed LPG:s old whip. I bought it of Ebay. Frame is tiny wheeny to small for me and I can not stand seeing it hanging in the Garage. Also I have a thing for original worn bikes like my Tommasinis...

Here is a list of the parts:

Brooks Swift titanium
Campag period headset
Campag BB
Campag NOS 2 bolt seatpost
Airlite hubs fix/fix, Michelin World Tour
Philippe stem and Track handle bars
Campag brake and lever
Campag Pista cranks 151 bcd with campag pista bolts and 55 teeth pista chainring

Thanks for all kind words and sorry for not having an exact price. I will start answering all PM:s now.

ahem. pic of ding, please!

Teddy I will sort one out for you soon
