For Sale: Mercian King of Mercia 57cm (BNIB) 1980

BANK HOLIDAY PRICE DROP - £370 for an as new King of Mercia.

After much faffing around and deliberation I'm putting my King up for sale. I bought it a couple of years ago with a stuck post and built it up as a fixed bike for a little while. I finally sent it back to Mercian to remove the post and while there got it resprayed too. It came back a couple of months ago and is just sitting there and I can not see myself building it up.

Pictures are below, it is out of the box fresh in terms of paint and so pretty much mint condition. Since I got it back I've only had it out to take the pictures

I'd like £425 (posted) or £410 collected which for a KoM in this condition I think is reasonable.

Price drop to £400 collected

Made with 531 double butted awesomeness and matching frame & fork serial numbers. I just won't be using a tourer/geared bike in the foreseeable future so this has to go.

Can be seen in the Stockwell/Brixton area. Dibs followed by pm please. And the bike is "redder" for some reason the pictures seem to be a bit orange.

57cm square?

Good luck with the sale Phil.
I know I'm going to regret this.

Full measurement is seat tubes a 59cm and top tube 57cm.
So people from a long legged 5'9" to about 6'1" would probably suit. I'm 5'11 for the record

Oof, slightly too long for me, but probably a good thing. Lovely frame.

truly sexual

Nice looking frame Phil.

I note there are no mudguard eyes, so more of a road frame. You really should put some wheels with tyres in there on the photos, so people can see how it looks / clearances etc.

Also rear spacing might be useful.

Cheers Skully - i opted not to stick any wheels on as it is so shiny I was worried about scratching the paintwork and wanted to keep it in mint condition.

I'll check rear spacing tonight but in the meantime below is a photo of it with wheels and set up fixed before it went back to Mercian

Have you got the full geometry ie seat and headtube angles plus the headtube length.

Thanks

Sory Flintlock - no idea on the angles. You'd be welcome to come over and check it out

Thanks

Headtube length and rear spacing then please.

Sorry about the delay, the headset length is 175mm and the rear spacing is 130mm.

Still for sale and will do a price drop to £400 collected or £415 posted

Thanks PQR

Is seat tube centre to centre or centre to top?

Thanks

The measurement came from Mercian when it was being re-sprayed so presume it was centre to top. Can check tonight

Yes if you could check please.

Is this still up for grabs?

Yup, it is currently boxed up in my spare room where I can't get to it for a few days due to builders being in
Flintlock - I've not forgotten about the above, just hard to get to atm

Price Drop if collected over the Bank Holiday weekend. Less than half the price of a new KoM

Just 1cm bigger and this would be mine.

Longer stem should sort that out!

Did you get chance to check if seat tube was c-c or c-t ?

Thanks

Hi Flintlock, I sent you a PM yesterday morning so not sure if you got that. I can double check tonight

Stunner!

Any chance I could come and have a look Thursday or Friday night? Can you get to it?
