Mercian is finished!

After waiting nearly 7 weeks for Mercain to do the renovation, it's back, and I've just built it up quickly! All i need now is an imperial allen key to tighten the seat clamp!!

Can't wait to get riding!

a work of art. nice

nice, were all of the road bits chopped off b4 repaint?!

yeah, i hacked them off (apart from the cable tunnels under the BB)

excellent for re-sale!

That's beautiful. Congratulations.

dogsballs: yeah, I have no intention of re-selling this

Classy colour scheme. Did you consider anything else, before you plumped for grey and white?

very nice.
sorry to highjack, but does anyone know where the frame number is on a mercian? when i bought my frame i was told it was a mercian, but as i have never found any evidence of maker/number anywhere on the bike i doubt it is.

Nice!Simple yet lovely colour scheme

mercianary dogsballs: yeah, I have no intention of re-selling this, ever

then why not file off the BB guides and get some track ends put in?!?!?

bombadil: on this one, it's stamped on the BB shell

dogsball: yeah, but I have a budget, track ends were a heap more, and i never see the bottom of the bb shell!

Nicccceee.

I thought about the red that it was originally, but I ended up going monochrome at the last minute, glad I did too.

Haha, yeah, you're right, I should have gone for it. The benefit of hindsight eh?

That is one sweeeet looking ride.

Now take it out in the rain and get it DIRTY!

mashton always prefers things that are dirty

I am very very jealous.....

Looks real nice. Need to get the drops horizontal though!

Good point JOL! I've adjusted and it looks way better!

PS: I saw your green bike on flickr ages back, one of the main reasons i wanted to get a fixed!

yum!

I like a lot...

that's what a mercian should look like*
