Hello All,

Ok so its with a heavy heart that I have turn to you guys for
Some advice RE: the sale of my Mercain.

This is brand new took delivery three weeks ago, never
Built up only took out of box to admire & photograph.

Specs Below

57 square
631 Tubing
Rear 6 inches Chrome
Fork fully Chrome ( NOT DRILLED)
Main Color - Ruby
6 inch white band on seat tube with 1 inch either side

This cost 900 + just before they put the tubing up 100 before

So to build this bike now would cost allot more.

I would like a quick sale - so.....

What should I do ?!?!?!

Anyone here interested ? The bay ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated -

if you want top dollar then eBay is your friend...if you want a quick sale then put a price on the OP.

And pictures - don't forget the pictures

I would put it on eBay as a buy it now and also do a best offer facility. Track frames fetch good money but there is always a chance in an auction it might not reach the price you want, whereas with a buy it now you put your price plus a bit so that you can come down a little bit. Plus you pay less comission with buy it now, don't forget paypal charge a comission as well. Parcelforce are good for sending out and you can normally google a promo code for a 10-15% discount. The frame sounds lovely I've got a 61cm Super Vigorelli which was made in 2008 in ruby flam and silver lug lines. Good luck.

Some great advice thank you - I think this could be the path I will take : )

Sad to say I think you're going to have trouble getting more than £600 for it. I hope I'm wrong.

I have to ask: Why sell?

you'll never recoup the value of it. I'd be surprised if you could get half of what you paid for it here.. people have a price threshold that is reached quickly after £300 for a frame.

Sad to read something like this. Hang on to it if you can.

600 was worst case scenario - I hope to get 600 + - But we will have to see

Reason : I just can't justify another track build - I have a Look 566 ( roadie ) on its way
Which I would like to complete by Feb. - It came to Road vs. Track & this time the road won : )

Not happy about having to sell the Mercian but needs must ... : (

unfortunate that you have to sell

Lovely.

I'm just about to recieve my Geoffrey Butler back, very very similar to that, chrome and dark ruby red, only no white bands. Can't bloody wait!

Mine's made of 531SL though.

Oh yeah, and ;) free bump.

Yep, that is a gorgeous thing.
