Had to dust off the ol' LFGSS login along with these out of the basement, so a little out of touch. Priced as fair as I could against similar listings I could find. Ride a belt drive alfine with panniers now, that's my life.

Cheers guys!

Thanks for the tips @c4shr, have updated accordingly.

Last night, riding down Sewardstone road (West side of Victoria Park), 3 hoodied up guys on Boris bikes, ride along side me, tried to kick me off my bike, eventually forced me to stop then snatched my 6 month old Brompton that I've been using occasionally. Oh and they also got away with my laptop and wallet etc. as it was in my (black ortlieb brompton) frame-mounted bag at the time.

Filed a police report and shall keep an eye on ebay, gumtree etc. But would appreciate the collective gaze of lfgss if you see one of these going cheap:

Brompton Black Edition M6L. Was pretty much mint, bought from new, I have frame serials proof of purchase etc.

Cheers

For the record, these enquiries haven't lead to a viewing yet...

Also, @badgersarebold kindly forwarded on what Mercian got back to him with from the serial:

Mercian have confirmed the following on Number 964 built in 1977

23.5" frame angles 73 x 73
16.75" chainstays Semi sloping fork crown Chrome 6" front and rear Purple flamboyant, with 5 x 1" white bands, 1" apart Mercian white
transfers on top tube and down tube

Still available, price drop and bump...

This has gone to fleabay, closing off...

Bump, price drop.

Hi Ray,

It's still going. I'm pretty confident it's the original paint, it's a wonderful metallic blue - with what I believe to be the original decals. There's a few little chips, the most are around the underside of the top of the seat stays.

I'm not sure what the tubing is for the frameset I'm afraid, I can tell you the serial is '96477', which I believe means it was the 964th bike they made in 1977. But I'm unsure what actual model it is. I bought the frameset on ebay about 5 years ago.

The dropouts are indeed campag.

Any other, questions - or if you'd like some more photos, let me know.

Cheers,

David

Cheers guys, for reference, I'm 6"2' and could have even had the saddle a little higher...

Built up and ridden a handful of times, just been collecting dust. Another bike has come into the stable so this one has to go.

Spec as follows, pretty much all components are either new or nos :

1. Mercian Frameset:
   Size: 60cm Seat Tube CtT, 58cm Top Tube CtC. Serial dates the frameset to ‘77
   
2. Mavic Open Pros on Formula X Hubs with Gatorskins (23c), 30 miles tops.
   
3. Brooks B17 Saddle Brown (Brand New)
   
4. Cinelli 1A Stem and Cinelli Giro D’Italia Bars (64-40), Brooks Leather Bar Tape.
   
5. Campagnolo Strada/Pista crankset. Drive side is a strada crank that was filed down to make a single chainring crank, other crank is Pista, visually make a pair to the naked eye, length 170mm.
   
6. Campagnolo Chainring (48t), rear sprocket 17t. Chain 3/32”
   
7. Campagnolo Seatpost
   
8. MKS Sylvan Pedals with MKS leather Toeclips and Brooks Toe Straps
   
   

Frame is in great condition, no dents or dings - straight and true. Paint is a beautiful deep metallic blue, has a few chips, mainly at the top of the seat stays (some of which have been touched up), but all things considered for the age is very good.

Currently has a front brake lever attached, but no front caliper. Some chump nicked the brake off my pub bike and I had to pilfer this one. It is currently set up as fixed though, so can still be ridden away, but I’ll leave the lever on for the next owner’s discretion to remove the lever or replace the caliper.

£500
£475
SOLD

Not looking to split this.

Bit of a punt....

If anyone has a spare ticket to Aintree for The Grand National, Saturday, Tattersalls Enclosure. Let me know.

Daysack looks great. Any of you guys fit a laptop in there? If so how big?

Anyone got a set going? Get in touch!

Cheers

Cheers @FredyCro, found this beauty of a blog post which seems to cover the lot:

Now on the hunt for some Cinelli Valencias!

Just down to looking for some more suitable black riser / sweep bars, any suggestions appreciated, post is over at: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/258730/

Mornin all,

Finishing up my build as mentioned here, and I'm after some black bars with a bit more sweep / rise.

Closest I've found are the Gusset Stash Bars but ideally I'd like more rise than this, with a similar amount of sweep (not talking Porteur..)

Bars need to be able to accommodate levers and an STI shifter.

Any recommendations gratefully received

Not that bad actually @Howard, cheapish avid levers, but the 'speed dial' adjustor allows you to alter the pull ratio. Still bedding in mind

Was a concern when assembling, but wanted cable discs to give me flexibility with bars.

So it took a little longer than anticipated, but figured I'd update this thread with the progress. Pretty much there, only ridden up and down the road.

Forgive the shoddy cable routing, that's one of the last few tasks this weekend (ran out of cable ties)

Todo: Paint modded seatstay, cable routing, mudguards (and rack when required)

Big thanks to Fitzrovia Cycles for the frameset, Donhou Bicycles for the belt drive mod and August Wheelworks for the bombproof wheelset.

undibs, thought this was an X100s too, not the X100

Still a good deal, but not exactly what I'm looking for.

Dibs. Pming now..

Looks like a falcon licensed, scaffolding pipe job to me.
