SOLD: Sid Mottram (Mercian) Mixte singlespeed.

Posted on
  • I'm selling this rather pretty metallic green Sid Mottram mixte bike. It's a nice small bike so would suit the more petite rider.








    It was made in the 70s or 80s, by Mercian.

    I built it up about 7 years ago for my wife but she hardly ever rode it, so the seat, bar tape, tyres, freewheel, chain and brake blocks are barely used.

    Seat Tube (ctt): 49.5cm (19.5in)
    Top Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
    Seatpost size: 26.6mm

    Lyotard 460D aluminium pedals
    165mm TA cranks.
    I will also supply the special TA crank extractor tool if you remind me when you collect. (TAs are a special French thread)
    Weinmann 500 side-pull brakes with Campagnolo pads
    SR stem
    Brooks bar tape and plugs
    A lovely Brooks B17 professional saddle (Skully-stamped with the name 'Toni')
    Panaracer Pasela gumwall tyres
    Wheels are mismatched but look in keeping - Mavic rims on Campag(rear, 32 spoke) and Shimano(front, 36 spoke) hubs.
    It's probably geared around 65 inches.
