That was plaid, tartan is for REAL SCOTTISH people only, right G?

And saddle sniffers?

Skully, you cunt, I've just eaten!

Doesn't he look a total melt?

The most punchable face outside of Scotland

Like Mr T tho, he just keep on smilin'

i miss the spats he caused though, it was like jerry springer "up in here"!

Doesn't he look a total melt?

Mmmm, tuna melt. I'm fucking hungry but can't leave my flat as I'm waiting for some wheel to be delivered. Argh!

whats the black thing spiralling down the down tube?

Is it one of those fancy schmancey computers that measures cadence/power etc?

Correct

Giz is that the large the headtube looks longer than the one i had to sell.

Its the medium (56cm)

You do know you're allowed to train without a power meter, don't you?

Still not fully recovered from injury, having to meter my training. (and there is a power meter fitted already :-)

Really really nice so far!!

Parcels galore yesterday!

"ditospeed
so this is my curent project, my loooooong term new project... bought from pitofski fom here. (thanks)
parts that will go on this frame:
sugino 75 cranks ( on its way )
suzue promax hubs
nitto stem+drops
velocity deep v
well at least, thats the planning.
and maybe a repaint. well the repaint is coming for sure."

Nooooooooo, nearly bought this frame but ummed and ahhed to long and it was gone. Now I realise I should have just gone for it to save the poor frame from a fate worse than death.

Please please please don't repaint or put deep v's on it.

I will give you what you paid for it to save it.

Got the Mercian back from the painters... Looks rather glorious I think. It's been variously described as ugly, short and uncomfy, so I thought perhaps a ginger kitten would help it's newly painted appeal - everyone loves ginger kittens don't they!

Going to take a while to build up, I have nothing for it!

looks great!
nice work!
any news on what the hell it is?

No idea - Mercian have the serial number on file - they checked when I got the decals from them. I've been meaning to give them a bell to get all the details on it.

Is the headtube aero? look quite similar to Teddy's Mercian.

Yes it is - it used to be Henry's (and previously eyebrow's I think). I'm actually not that keen on the aero headtub and given that it's pretty much the only concession to be aerodynamic on the whole frame it seems a little pointless - but the filled up seatstays I love.

I think it's a chunk smaller than Teddy's as I believe it's meant to ride with a long seatpost (and obviously has routing for a rear deraileur as well) but yeah, I think you can see some similar thinking.

i am(was) eyebrows...
it was socialamnesia's (andy's) before.
he, like me had big plans but they fell through.
the before pic:

shows the improvement.
I would have kept it fluoro green mind, but then I like fluoro colors.

The seat post and stem happily came away from the rusty Holdsworth. The awkward removal of the cottered cranks now awaits.

Result! Good work.

"The seat post and stem happily came away from the rusty Holdsworth with the aid of big sledgehammer pictured"

Fixed.

Now, Velocity AERO's to LF black Phils

G, do you find the angle of your bars comfortable!?.. My god, I'd break my wrists...

Other than that, it looks mint ; )
