Thank you Matt for the picture

I thought I would send you this one of my pro lugless which you made for me last year and I built up with campag gear. It's a real stunner as I'm sure you'll agree and it rides like a dream.
Thanks,

Phil,s Bike

This was sent to me some time ago now Phil lives in the U.S.A and below is part of his letter.
My bike arrived today and all I can say is WOW. And of course I can’t wait to get her built and take her for that first ride. The detail and craftsmanship are everything I hoped for.
My Mercian is an incredible ride! I’ve never been so comfortable on a bike before and I can truly ride this bike all day long and still feel fresh. PLUS, it attracts admiration and bike lust wherever I go, which is never a bad thing.

Attached is a picture from a group ride earlier this summer where she won a “best looking bike” contest. Trust me when I tell you the picture doesn’t do it justice. As you can see from the photo I’ve tried keep in a classic mode with the frame by giving it hammered fenders, waxed canvas rear bags, a Nigel Smyth front bag as well as moustache bars (with shellac cloth tape) and of course a racing green Brooks saddle.

Kirsten,s bike

A 753 here sent to Kirsten in New Zealand 2 years ago now. I must say looks rather nice as well. Lets hope its racking up the miles.

Photo from Italy

This photo was sent to me by Raffaello . I have to phone him to take a order and I do not speak Italian this order is going to be interesting..

A letter from Mr S. Richards

This bike as you can see is well looked after. Mainly built with Campagnolo record and super record equipment it looks a treat.
Below is a sample of Mr Richards letter.
I own a Mercian "Professional" that you built and custom fitted for me in 1987. I purchased it through "WORLD CYCLE" in Dallas, TX. It is a beautiful bike (it has an incredible red, white and blue paint job) and rides like a dream. I had my bike serviced (the mechanics were extremely complimentary about the quality of the frame, & components and the beauty of the paint job) and began my journey back to health. I'm riding again now - as strong as ever - and still think my Mercian bike is the finest thing on two wheels that I've ever ridden. I just wanted to thank you for building such an incredible bicycle; the sheer joy it brings to simply ride it is hard to put in words - so - please accept my heartfelt thanks.

My very best to all those involved in the making of these beautiful bicycles,

Happy riding Mr Richards
