mercier is a good deal

One of my friends raced on an Alan frame in the 80's. I seem to remember that the tubes were bonded (glued) into the lugs, and it only had a certain life before the joints wore out and it was scrap.

Is this right?

^ no

Mercier is a legendary bike and a pretty descent deal...

The Cosmics however are bonded and do fall apart, a few people over various forums talk about this but I have had first hand experience.
My mate bought one last year and six months later the down tube fell out of the head tube.
Almost no glue left on inspection.
Based on my experiences I wouldn't reccomend a Cosmic.

I've got one of these Peugeot bonded frames. It's recently been re-painted and airbrushed decals. The frame was taken apart by a friends colleague. He works in the aircraft industry and re-bonded it using materials used in bonding inner wings in aircraft. Joints are solid as a rock now! They do ride well and very light

Interested in Mercier please. Will PM now.

Vitus 979 were bonded and this can become issue with some joints coming unstuck....one has to bear mind these frames date from the 1980s but Alan frames are bonded and screwed and so won't be a problem.....must admit i fancy the Alan myself

Mercier too small so still available. It is lovely though!

price drop

mercier bike looks good
