[SIZE=3]Used Mercier Formule 1 frameset. Pretty rare 'aero' frame from the 70s, made out of Vitus steel tubing that was, to my understanding, rolled to create an aero section. So it has ovalised sections on the top, down and seat tubes, a reduced profile headtube with flattened sides and the most beautiful flat seatstays and chainstays. The whole lot is fillet brazed. It really is a beautiful looking frame. It requires a unique aero-section seatpost with an expander bolt, which is included together with a superlight Brompton seat clamp. Seat tube 50cm CTC, 51.5cm CTT, Top tube 52.5cm CTC, head tube 10cm, rear end (Vitus dropouts) about 125mm and I get a 130mm in no problem. One set of bottle bosses, excellent French thread headset included, requires a French thread bottom bracket. It has its original paint and there's a bit of bubbling under the paint in a very few places and some scratches -- most are on the forks -- that could be touched up. £210 plus postage.
