I've put a deposit down on a 1969 Mercian....Unsure of model at the moment. I can't get down to pick it up for a couple of weeks though, due to my wife going in for an operation on Monday.
Currently, it is powdercoated blue, with a crap adjustable stem and flat bar combo....I'm going to see how bad the powdercoat makes the lugwork look in the flesh, to see if I will repaint straight away or not. The running gear will be swapped out for some Campag bits and bobs, and the bars will be swapped for some Randonneur ones ASAP!
I'll bung some pictures on here when done, and probably do a current projects thread ;o)
Ive wanted a Mercian for years!....It will compliment my Hetchins perfectly, I think.
