For Sale: Mercian Track/Path Frame 1957

Hey Everyone

I'm very very reluctantly selling my Mercian Track frame. I've had this hanging on my wall for a while now and I know that I'm just not going to build it up, so it really deserves a new home.

As mentioned the frame is from 1957 (frame number 6457). Its had a respray a couple of years ago and has been built up once.

The paint job is stunning! Its main colour is an aquamarine flamboyant, offset with very light green head tube and seat tube rings, lugs are lined in gold with period transfers.

The frame has no dings or dents, there are a couple of tiny chips to the paint work but they have been filled in. The frame does have marks from where the wheels have been put on. but that's about it. You will not be dissapointed with the condiition of this frame, it really is a beauty! Proper collectors piece.

The dimensions are as follows:

ST: 53cm ctc
TT: 57cm ctc
English thread BB
1" threaded English steerer

Asking for £500.

Cash on collection. Can be collected from my studio in Archway or at home in Camden. Will post nationwide for cost.

Also, if you want to have a look before you buy, PM me.

Dibs and PM please. Forum donation will also be made from the sale.

Porn. Crazy dimensions though

Totally porn. Need longer arms.

Would suit wealthy gorilla!

Nice though.

Forgot to add. Rear spacing is 115mm and front is 100mm.

Or someone like me, short legs and a long body ;)

A lot of old frames I've seen were built like this... Riders preferred to get tuck down low over the top tube for maximum aero benefit... True story...

Thought it might be designed around a really long pump

fucking awesome

free bump for the general porn levels in that frame

nice, where did you get it refinished?

Was refurbished at Mercian, fortunately before their prices went through the roof.

Great frame and very nice pictures too. I'm in Highbury so next time heading past bring your camera and you can take some snaps of my mercian ;-)

haha

Yeah, it is a real beauty! The dimensions are not that crazy though, just a little longer on the reach, which can be compensated with a shorter stem.

Pop by the studio PQR, i can take some photos for a "small" fee ;)

^ Grooming alert...

Price drop £450

That DT decal is lust.

Just had a look at Mercian's reno' prices, not that pricey really, considering how much work goes into a good paint job.

True dat

Hey Bonobo. Tis a stunner. Free bump for a question:

My 25 yr old Mercian is lookin fairly bandy these days... how much did that paint job and renovation end up costin you in total?

Cheers

As mentioned, the renovation was done a couple of years ago, prices at Mercian have gone up since it was done. I would have a look at their website, you can get it done cheaper, but defiantly not better. Check out the Mario Vaz thread. I've heard good thing about his renos.

Fuckin tidy.
Would you consider part exchange?
