Mercian Rapha Continental tribute

Any update?

This is great but if you're going to put in all this effort the logo on the TT needs a full stop.

Stripped off the chorus 12 (for sale) and put on what I had in the parts bin.
Should be good for the wet weather

Still looking good. But please use the extra bit of bar tape around the lever clamp, that sneaky bit of bar showing is playing havoc with my OCD ;)

Nice brakes

Ha! I really don’t like this bar tape to be honest- it’s too bulky so will replace it with some old brooks and sort out the offensive missing bit👍

First long ride in ages, felt pretty good considering the 39 inner ring and weak legs

What made you get rid of the Chorus?

Still trying to sell it! Only reason is for cash flow - £4K of work needed on my old Citroen ...

Ah, I see, though maybe you'd had issues with it or something. Bike looks good with the PDW guards on

And this has just popped up on ebay!

Phew - too small...

Can you delete that post plz...

Put some carbon forks on for a Sunday morning ride

Still a fine looking bicycle. Like the polished stem and seat post look.

Black frame and silver finishing kit is such a classy look, love it

Looks great.

My now non rapha Mercian bike is possibly going to be up for sale if anyone is interested?
Details up soon

Potentially, what are the measurements? Couldn’t see but is it built for mid reach or short reach brakes?

I did somthing similar with an Orlowski frame :-)
