As title suggests, really good condition. Fixed gear. Tubs will hold air but lose pressure over the course of a few days so really need replacing. I'm guessing early 90's vintage as they have the new style stickers on the rims rather than the older all yellow ones

Looking for £125, located between Loughborough & Notts for collection

Absolute bargain for Ti bike with Dura Ace (he says, having just blown his cash on a Moser Leader)

Hi Ringo

PM sent......

Hi

I've a 24" wheel, Campag Record hub, tubular rim if you are still looking. Radially spoked, and low use.

PM if you are interested. WIlling to post.

Cheers

Few more pics....

Bump

Price drop to £1000 - lots of Mercians on Ebay at the moment, none to this high specification

Thanks very much.

Should have said, the 53cm is c to c. I am 5'8" and bike in pic is set up for me. Top tube is 55cm, so it's a nice long reach, not cramped up like some older frames.

OK, not quite full C-Record as I couldn't find a 27.0mm example seat pin, so instead it has a NOS Super Record.

NOTE THIS IS FOR SALE WITHOUT WHEELS

This is a stunning and rare machine as it is build with the lesser known 753T tubing, for track and TT. As seen in the pic, the bike weights in a 9.0kg. It's a stunning candy apple red and gold combination, having had a refurb at Argos a few years ago. These frames are still built by Mercian, with an 853 example setting you back almost £1200.

This bike could be yours for £1100 without wheels. Apologies, I am not in London but located 10 mins from J24 of the M1 near Loughborough.

Please PM for more pics and details if required. Note that in the pic shown, the inner cables were not fitted hence the slack looking levers. This has obviously now being rectified.

I picked this up last night, it's a 1985 Strada Speciale in 753t. Mostly C-Record bits and bobs, and 76° angles so pretty twitchy. I now have two Mercians, so I guess by definition I have a collection!!

Look like Centaur (I didn't count the spokes on the flange). I may try and find some, will be cheaper than Sheriff Stars & I may get away with it!

There are all sorts of strange braze ons.... It has no gear hanger either! I think it was either made for bar end shifters, or more likely, a hub gear of some sort. The original owner was a member of both CTC and VCC, as the stickers on the frame tell, but I don't know who he was, so can't find out any more info. It fits me perfectly though, and is a pleasure to ride. Very, very stable, and can comfortably churn out the miles at a good speed....I often look down at the garmin, to see me doing 20+ mph on flat roads, just turning my legs over :0)
There are some beauties on this thread though.....the green one up the page a bit is my favourite!

I reckon the colour scheme you have is bang on. Have you got Sheriff Star hubs on it as well? That's the final piece of the jigsaw for my Mercian, but I don't have that sort of dough unfortunately.

All my pictures are rubbish.... It's one of those things that I want to learn how to do! I'll post some better ones when I borrow my wife's camera... It's at the school right now. The serial is 66991 or 16699, so, depending on which way is the correct way to look at the number, and whether the first two, or the last two denote the year, it's a 99, or 91!
I've not been able to work it out!!

Probably the best one I have of it......

I've got to get those wheel re-dished to suit

Could it be a 66? I read somewhere that Mercian can reverse the frame numbers sometimes and the first two digits are the year. The mounting brackets for the lights seem older than 91, unless someone specified them??

My vincitore special, out in Epping forest on Tuesday.....it was a lovely day, this was taken as the light was fading......it looked lovely, but my photo skills are non existent...

Have you got a better pic, because tht bike looks great. What year is it?

This is my 653 Pro Lugless with full C-Record group. I was lucky enough to get hold of it a couple of years ago in original condition. I have changed the pedals and the wheels from tubs to clinchers, but that's it. Colour is a deep blue, which you can't really appreciate from the pic. When I was a junior racer back in the late 80's, a guy in my club had one of these bikes in bright orange and I always wanted one. It took me 24 years to get my own, but it was worth the wait.

Are these still available? I can't PM but I am interested, could you message me please.

Thanks
Matt
