Ians short wheelbase frame with mudguards

Ian wanted to fit mudguards to his racing bike so he brought the frame in. We indented the seat tube so the rear mudguard could be squeezed in. As you can see it works a treat.

Charles in Japan

Greetings from Okinawa, Japan,

Here is a photo of my Mercian Vincitore Special conquering a lava flow in front of the Cape Zanpa lighthouse--30 miles north of Naha City, Okinawa. Thought maybe you would like to add this to the other photos of my Mercian in the owner's gallery--this proves that it is actually ridden and not just a piece of wall art. It is presently fitted with Campagnolo Super Record components and Clement Campionato del Mondo Setas (made in Italy!), and they are still strong enough to conquer the Japanese roads on a long trip. I, on the other hand drank a lot of water.

Kindest regards,

Charles
I got this email from Charles early last year ! Thank you Charles

Well I tried setting up a face book Mercian account but its all to complicated for me. But there is a Mercian Cycles Appreciation Society on face book I have just become a member so please take a look there might be just a few mates on it you never know. Its run by a chap called Graham Dawson. There is a link below right to this account,

Audax on a trip

Took delivery at Easter this year and used bike to cycle 2400miles over 40 days starting May 20th.
Left Lands End and cycled up to John O Groats over Peak District, Yorkshire dales and Pennines. Met wife at JOG and we cycled around the Orkneys together and then both back to Lands End. Bike behaved beautifully-no mechanical problems and not one puncture between us. Bike is audax special in electric pearl blue. Peter Cornwall

Short and sweet

Hi,

Just wanted to send you a picture of my Mercian Super Vigorelli.

I am enjoying it in Southern California.

Thanks for the great frame!

Thank you Kelley

Re-Cycle

We try and re-cycle most things at the shop and workshop. The van had a load the other day to be weighed in. There is a few frames worth of repairs in that box.

Teds Bike update

Good news all sorted ...

Ted's Stolen Bike in London

i've had my custom mercian super vigorelli stolen (serial number 13591). it's a unique bike, and (i think) a complete custom job. it has an aero wedge headtube and the seatstays are joined (see pics). i'm completely gutted, i love this bike.

As a good customer of Mercian I have blogged this picture to help track it down . If you see it or know where it is please get in touch with me and I will pass on the details to Ted.
