Raleigh Mercury - 1990s - 61cm

Raleigh Mercury road bike for sale. Nice detail lugged steel frame, cool fade paint job and decals. 12 gears, 700x25. I believe the size is 61cm.

The frame is in great condition for its age, there are only a few nicks in the paintwork and scratches on the stickers – as to be expected for a 25 year old bike.

This is a fun bike to ride, feels quite fast (although not particularly light). Recently bought new brake calipers and blocks. Head set is a bit notchy, not sure if it just needs lubing or new bearings. The reason I am selling is because I would like something lighter for my daily commute.

BTW the saddle pictured is not included. It now has a faded neon pink saddle. I also have a big white bmx style saddle that you can have for free if you want.

Ready to ride away. Pickup from Fitzrovia/Soho London. £220 or near offers considered.

PM me or text on 0 7480 955 304.

Thanks guys

Had another look at the rear wheel last night and noticed that one spoke had come loose from the nipple. I just secured it temporarily to another spoke. I'll drop the price another £20 and am open to offers at this point. Will be moving to a new flat in a couple weeks and this bike needs to go before that.

£150? £140? Anyone?!

Hi mattis, I might want to pop by and take it for a spin if that's alright.

Can you shoot me a PM if the bike is not sold yet?

Bike is still available, I messaged you a couple days ago @tmorville.

gaspipe with suicide levers is never gonna get much interest on here. best try retrobike/gumtree

Had a mercury some time ago, definitely a cool '90 look for the commute. It's not light, but kind of a comfy ride. I also had fun converting it to a fixed gear.
So bump for the memories.
