For Sale: Mercian Olympic 1982, 60st x 57.5tt

SOLD SOLD SOLD

After around three years of owning this frame, and a year during which it has actually been ridable, I've come to the reluctant conclusion that it is not getting used enough, and needs to find another owner.

I bought this originally from the forum's own benjam, had it resprayed at Mercian, built it up with lovely vintage Record, and then let it sit in a parking garage for far too long.

So here it is:

A 1982 Mercian Olympic frame, resprayed "polychromatic green" by Mercian themselves (actually more of a satin metallic teal colour, is lovely), with gold lug lining and white gothic decals.

Seat tube measures 60cm c-c, top tube measures 57.5cm c-c. If you're interested in other measurements, let me know and I can take them.

Comes with a Tange headset fitted by Mercian.

The condition is excellent; the only marks on the frame are where the brakes and QR skewers have been attached.

I have all original papers, as well as papers from when benjam originally sent it to Mercian, and when I took it up there myself.

For this frame + forks + headset I would like £SOLD please.

I'll also have a bunch of period Campag kit, and some Royce/Mavic 126OLD wheels coming up for sale in the next few days. Basically most of the kit on the action shots below.

Enjoy...

Gorgeous. My size, don't need, do want but cannot afford. That is the law.

Always the way. The frame and I are in Vauxhall SW8, BTW.

Lovely condition! Tasty paint job ! GLWS!!!

Rad colour.

I <3 my Olympic (1976). No doubt they improved them in the intervening years.

Lovely and my size too, colour is fantastic.

May I ask how much you'll be looking for, for the chainset or group?

Could do nicely for the Hetchins.

Thanks TM.

Frame now sold. Let me have a think about the groupset/chainset. I'll drop you a line in a day or so if that's OK.

Yeah no worries, I suspect it may be out of my financial reach but only one way to find out. Cheers.

TM - PMed you re gruppo
