Was it Fizik microtex tape? Thin at 2mm and perforated. https://www.fizik.com/uk_en/tempo-microtex-classic.html

Ryde rims seem to retain generous brake tracks. I equate Mavic with great wheels. I think thats probably hard on spoke and hub manufacturers but there you go. MA2, MA40, Open Pro, Monthlery, GP4....when some johnny come blows in from his Rapha pop up cafe and starts bleating on about HUNT or...

I thought Wolber were sucked up into Mavic(?). I think Mavic owned the rights to the name at one time, possibly the tech also. Same thing happened to the French as everyone else. Crushed by the power of Taiwanese manufacturing and Shimano's relentless marketing machine and distribution network...

Drop dead gorgeous with price to match (£1950). Don't think this will move quickly but who knows. Absolute randoporn...

Good point - it is the Vincitore special isn't it - got the long pointy lugs at the BB. Top of the line Mercian frame with that many braze ons would have been wedge.

£643!

Yeah, 56 looks more like it.

Some questionable brake levers but braze ons for everything and £205 with a day to go. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/356109407465?itmmeta=01J9NY40TC720TBR6WHWMVFQNT&hash=item52e9c654e9:g:5zQAAOSwc29mo1dO

I used to work for a company providing services to auctioneers. We would get complaints every week about the sale of Nazi memorabilia - 50% that these items were listed at all and 50% that they were in fact, fake (yes, there are folk in India and China churning out fake WW2 Nazi kit and trying...

The audax / winter trainer one: £85, Blackpool area: https://www.facebook.com/share/DFhDHr2RWkRBtBMq/ The tourer. £75, Manchester area https://www.facebook.com/share/zmQpJA7xFRu833gq/

One down from the 'AA' which is a pure race frame with fag paper clearances and a Cinelli BB if memory serves me.

Campagnolo and S600 bits, Cinelli crit bars, Mavic GP4 rear https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1837235946799475/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A8e83176b-fcf4-45b8-a41d-6effc64810bc

Fill a container with Euro and US ephermera, ship to Japan, fill with old motorbikes and ship back.

My other half's 3 speed Motoconfort. Dealer sticker for St. Pol sur Mer, a suburb of Dunkirk - just across the water from us - where the lady who sold it to us bought it in a charity shop.

Update: this was picked up by somebody on the FB Mercian appreciation group - so it has gone to a good home.

Its a surviving early Mercian with what looks like original accessories. Theres plenty of old shite out there talking itself up, this is the real thing. Someone with the time and patience to restore it seemed to think so anyway. Lets hope so.

For a fiver more you get the service manual and some string. I'm going to hold out for that, just another week's paper round money and I'm there. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116211317881?itmmeta=01J8PRZJTBKTKXPWJ663TPHB4A&hash=item1b0ebbfc79:g:eFwAAOSw6p5mYrYR

Maybe for tall riders with bad backs. Geometry is Pedersen like.

Yes, definitely. Reminded me of this...
