Q: where is the measurement taken from EXACTLY. this is very important. ie centre to top, centre to cnetre, end to end

A: dear mr fish, I will measure it EXACTLY later today, then post the measurements on the listing. if my previous measurement was inaccurate i will whip myself into a bloody pulp. hope this helps, PJ.

very pronounced seat tube curve, change the front forks to a pair of Bates Diadrant and it becomes a Salvador Dali !!

Really nice, unless he's got a stupid reserve and a hatred against postage, I'm pretty tempted.

maybe mr fish was trying to establish where the measurement was taken from and not if the measurement was accurate or not. as there appear to be two common points from which frames are measured these days i think it fair to get clarification before spending money. sorry if i missed something.

If you take a closer look at the Harry Hall I'm sure it looks like it has a cassette on the rear but no derailleur? Or am I seeing things?

Man, even with the Dura Ace groupset and access to the time machine the seller pulled this bike out of, I have no idea why the bidding is getting as high as it is (currently £600). Can anyone else clue me in? I mean, it's a great looking bike, but my understanding was that Mercier made good frames for their day, but by no means were they amazing. I actually recall seeing an amazing Jack Taylor tourer going for less than what this Mercier is already at!

Here we go. Two Merciers (one looking almost identitcal) for the price of 3% of the one in question. Granted, it appears they wont ship, but even with that, you could get a flight down to Marseille, take a holiday, and bring the bikes back all for less that other Mercier is looking to fetch.
