For Sale: Mercian Super Vigorelli 59cm F+F (with bits)

Hi all,

Unfortunately due to lack of funds, I'm having to sell my beloved Mercian Super Vigorelli. It's a beautiful frame, finished in 'flamboyant purple' with white lug detailing which I acquired off the bay last year, which I then used to cycle from London to Paris. It appears to be a 2005 model as it's stamped '2005' on the underneath of the BB shell and it has the serial number '3 147'. Unfortunately since then it has sat unused as I couldn't bare to put any more scratches into it, considering I had another fixed option. It's a very comfortable ride, sporting mudguard eyelets and a fair bit of tyre clearance. Despite being a 'track' frame, it comes with forks drilled for a front brake, but not drilled for a rear brake. Due to it's use, it does have quite a few scratches (shown in the pictures) but I think it is far from needing a respray and I have factored this into the price. It will also come with a few bits and pieces, as listed below, to sweeten the deal a bit. A £10 donation to the forum will be made post sale.

Considering a Super Vigorelli frameset new from Mercian made from 631 tubing is £720 + VAT & waiting time, I think £360 for the lot (including courier service to your door) is a fair price.

Dibs followed by PM please.

Arrggghh too big :(
