Bear with me - this is not the bike I'm about to tell you about; it's just the only way I can provide contact details for this as yet unlisted bike:

This guy is selling a metallic green Mercier with full Shimano 600 group-set. It looks very much like this:

He wants £500 for it, and given its excellent condition I'd say that was fair.
I actually went to see another bike of his on behalf of a friend, but we got chatting and he ended up showing me some of the other bikes he had in the pipeline; this one really stood out.
Too small for me - reckon it was about a 54 cm. Just as well, because otherwise I'd have been tempted to buy something I can ill afford right now.
