At long last my Mercian frame turned up yesterday after a long wait (I ordered it back in January)
Made out of 853 pro Team grade Reynolds steel. The paintwork is Black pearl with a Blue intense pearl headtube and barbers pole with the lugs lined in silver. I also asked them to supply and fit a Chris King headset.
Detailing on the Lugs
Ever since I ordered the frame back in January I have been buying all the parts I need to build it up
I wanted this bike to be a mix of classic and modern parts, so I'm using Ultegra 10speed with an SL crankset, Ritchey classic bars, stem and seat post, ltd edition Brooks Swallow Blue leather saddle and matching leather bar tape.
Hand built wheels, H Plus Son Rims, Royce Hubs Continental Grand Prix Classic tyres
