Dibs on red fork plus crankset!

Dibs on the Feather?

PM'd...

I can't quite see but do you have a rear wheel left? Thanks.

Hi there, tough times indeed! PM'ing....

Hi there. Stuff goes pretty cheap on here, I reckon you'd get what you want on eBay (but bloody fees!). If you want rid of it quickly then I am Hammersmith based and could do £75? Might be too cheeky for you.

Lovely looking thing.

It is up on eBay, lets see what the market thinks.......

Do I need to delete from here as per rules?

This thread just gave me 15 minutes of procrastination enjoyment. Fucking brilliant.

@midlife you are right. mercian confirmed - 1981 Campionissimo. Still fairly low down the food chain but not entry level.

Okay, brilliant. Thank you everybody. I will take it down in a couple of days and pop on eBay as suggested with a bit of a reserve. Thanks!

I'm afraid not because it is still boxed and I don't want to open it! We have one already and it is brilliant, very light. You can find all details here: https://uk.mountainbuggy.com/products/nano-duo?variant=39774388748322

And I see they have since dropped the price so I am open to offers.

Hmmmm. Am I off on the pricing?

Both seats sold, just buggy left....

Lovely Mercian Olympic, 1981. Frame number 38 built that year. Frame number 03881. Handbuilt 531 Reynolds steel.

Paintwork is done at home but well. It is Spray.Bike which is amazing stuff - it is marketed as a powdercoat in a can and it really feels like it. Comes out thick and matt with no runs. Then there is a gold fleck clear topcoat, it looks great! The lugwork is red and I didn't do it that well. But the bike comes with colour, gold fleck and lugwork pen to do touch-ups if needs be. Original decals from Mercian which are then clear coated on top.

Siltech gel saddle. Sakae SR Custom Track drop bars. Dia-Compe gold tech brake lever. Tektro calipers on the front only. Original Mercian headset. Original lamp bracket on fork.

Wheels.
Front. Tubular tyre on vintage Super Champion Competition rim with Campagnolo hub. QR
Rear. New tubular tyre on vintage Super Champion Competition rim with Campagnolo hub. Unknown cassette. QR

Superlight Crankset, Campagnolo chainring (52t). New Shimano BB.

One problem: bloody aluminium stem is stuck in the steel frame. I don't care because it is the right height for me (I'm 6'1").

Frame measures 56cm from seat post to BB. Can't understate how wonderful this is to ride. Stiff but with a tiny bit of 'give' in the frame, comfortable and fast.

Looking for £400. Is that reasonable? More pictures to upload because these aren't the best.

In in West London (W14 9BB) and could deliver reasonably locally.

I loved using these to bomb around London with the kids. We now have a cargo bike so these are for sale, pick up in Hammersmith, W14 9BB or happy to deliver reasonably locally.

Morning! I am looking for a fat comfy saddle for my wife's bike. Hers is cracked and leaking and she isn't loving the wet bum situation....

Cheap as poss if poss.

ALL SORTED THANKS.

Sorry, missed that... Thanks anyway!

Very interested in cranks and a chainring... Will PM.

Just jumping on this thread to say that I just used Spray.Bike on my build and got a fantastic finish. Just so different from a usual rattle can. It sprays a powder and drys in 10 minutes! It is like a powder coat in a can.

The bike is a 1981 Mercian Olympic by the way...

Also looking for chain ring and crankset if you have a cheap one going...?

Dibs on the free calipers plus cheapest saddle - trying to build something up super cheap after having to sell my Mercian!

It's around 58cm I think. I'll measure before listing of course. I'm 6'1" and it's perfect for me. The seat post is such though! I'll have to measure that too...

I actually have no idea what to set the price as. Is £350 too ambitious? It's a beautiful frame, no dings, dents or rust.

Sorry, somebody already offered me a Flyer frame! Thanks though.

Hey, would love these if still available? Fancy a trip to Blackheath too...... thanks.
