Both are stunning! Wish I had the money/space for either/both.
Any info on which taper the Grand Mighty's take?
-
• #13
Sorry mate, I completely forgot to respond to your pm. I'm pretty sure the taper's ISO. I've been successfully running them with a Miche Primato BB which is ISO, and gives a perfect chainline.
Just so you know, there are a couple of people interested in them (even though I have't formally advertised them). I'm giving preference to people who can collect, but no one interested can at the moment...

Does that mean if I pay you now I get them or that you'll wait for someone to come along that can collect?
-
• #15
If you def want them I'll hold them for you, so long as you're cool with paying a currently unknown amount in postage (I'll obviously choose the best cheapest option).
I've got people coming to look at the frames this week, one of whom was interested in the cranks, so I didn't want to say no to him, and then find out you didn't want them. However, you're first in the que, and I'm happy to post.Let me know for definite and I'll hold them for you.

For everyone else, frames are still available btw. People have expressed interest, no one's confirmed anything yet.
PM me if interested (hopefully this doesn't count as a bump, as the thread is on page 1 as I type!).

Vittorio now sold.

Ooooooo. I'm so tempted.
I love the black gold combo. Reminds me of my deceased Raleigh Super Sprint. Sure this be an upgrade!
Just the price??
Hmmm. Any budging? -
• #19
It's worth every penny!
-
• #20
That Mercian is mighty tempting, but I don't think it will be big enough for me :(
-
• #21
No budging on price I'm afraid. To buy the frame set from Mercian would be over £900, and this one has been barely used! I too think it's worth he price (cheers TM).

• #22
Forgot to mention in the add that I asked to have the frame built with a flat top fork crown, as Mercian usually build the super vigs with a sloping crown. So this frame is one of a kind!
-
• #23
Very tempted by your lovely Mercian. Does it have toe overlap? Looks like it with those clearances. Thanks
-
• #24
It's been about 4 years since I've ridden it, but from memory it does have slight overlap...

I wana do this but need to come see 1st (with a big wad of cash).
Have you got any other takers/visits?
Thanks
I have 2 frames for sale, the first of which is this Mercian *Super Vigorelli *track frame. I had the frame made for myself, and had it built up in a couple of guises for about a year. I don't think I put more than a few hundred miles on it, as I had numerous other bikes and could never bring myself to take the Mercian anywhere that it needed to be locked up.
The frame comes with a black Chris King headset, that's the same age as the frame, and has seen as many miles The frame is pretty much flawless. The forks are drilled and clearances are as tight as they can be (with a drilled fork).
Seat Tube = 57.5cm (centre to centre)
Top Tube = 57cm (centre to centre)
£495 - Now Sold

The second frame is a Vittorio, which is a Dutch company (to my knowledge). I bought this frame off the forum a few years back, and like the Mercian barely rode it - The frame is undrilled, and my knees could never really handle it.
The frame has some cool features, like the seemless fork crown and the way the seat stays meet the seat tube. Clearances are really tight front and back. The frame comes with a Stronglight headset.
Seat Tube = 59.7cm (centre to centre)
Top Tube = 57cm (centre to centre)
£295 - Now Sold

Sorry about the pictures, they're the only ones I could find on my laptop, I can take more as required.
I'm based in Tooting Bec, London, and would prefer people to pick up, but could also arrange postage at buyers expense.
Please pm me if you're interested.
Thanks.
