<<< The one I'm riding in 1969 on my avatar photo would be vintage if I still had it

Only sold it on a few years ago and I was still riding TT's on it until about 12 years ago.

This one from mid 90's. Same frame, but back to full fixed.
My daughter got hold of the photo and tried to shred it!

@Sharky Sorry for the slowly reply just clocked your post. Great to see pictures of you in action on your Mercian's. I have not yet managed to get out on mine yet too wet and icy. Will be interesting to see how it rides compared to my 1987 carbon aluminium lugged Centurion Ironman which is a little lighter than the Mercian but ultra flexible. However in a straight line its pretty rapid. If we ever get back to any sort of racing I will take it down to my club weekly 10 mile TT and see how it stacks up against my Cervelo.

I assume she was either very young or very angry!
