since mdcc_tester haven't responded yet, I'll tell you that bullhorns are the bars designed for lo-pro bikes, and the hand position is pretty much similar to riding drops on a bike with regular geometry. By using stem which would be parallel to the ground, and not squashing it all the way in you could achieve more or less ridable position on tops. IME...
Thanks for the advice. I've got some chopped and flipped drops I could probably use, and I've got a quill stem as well.
I assumed that too, but actually with a 24" front wheel, your much better off with LA84s as you feel like you're falling off the front of the bike with risers... I did anyway! its a pretty extreme riding position, and not great for going up hills, but if you're going for a lo-pro you might as well go the whole hog!
Yeah, I thought that might be a problem. It actually came with two 700c tubs, so the frame is made for two 700c but I think I'll sell them on here, because I'd rather have clinchers for around London.
When I get a second, I'll try and post some pictures in current projects.

Congratulations on that Mercian - ridiculous of course, but very pretty and an incredible amount of work and skill in building that frame for the price you picked it up for.
You should check with Mercian, I bet that cost an absolute fortune when it was originally commissioned (assume it was a custom build).
Make sure you stick a picture in the Lo Pro thread when you're done.

Well it looks like the Campagnolo Valentino. I sold the same front derailleur for 5€ few months ago!
But it could also be a Campagnolo Gran Sport from the 60's... -

This was probably worth a punt as it was free p&p and only went for £16 alas didnt even have that much spare to spend. Il get one one day.
Looks abit fishy regarding the bids placed on it. I dont know maybe something to ponder over!

looks like he is only willing to post to Germany ...
Most times they're willing and able to post abroad.
Just send him a message and ask.
He has to go to the post office anyway, no matter if it's going to stay in Germany or going elsewhere. He even accepts Paypal.
In my experience, only Yanks have serious problems like that. Even only shipping to southern states for example. -
