So, I finally picked up the Mercian yesterday and I am very impressed with it. Last 2 digits of the frame number are 81 so assume that is the year it was built? It’s not been used for a while so needs a really good clean and light restoration My Uncle had a shed full of cycle parts so I may...

Don’t you just love it when you stumble across something ace..Freewheel catalogs from 1980 to 1987. Happy to scan in anything of interest

Here’s a nice and quite rare thing.. NOS Sachs Huret Duopar Titanium Rear Mech. Any idea on value ?

Now relisted at £250

Fantastic bike. Word of caution on using GSP on eBay (now international shipping). They have quite strict max size guidelines (eg 120cm length). I also know of at least two occurrences where bikes have been ‘lost’ due to being in too big boxes. ie seller keeps money, buyer gets refund but bike...

Boing 😁

Many thanks for that. I won’t get to see it for another month or so but will post up some pics when I do

Thank you 👍

Thank you both..as soon as I get more pics I will post them up. Clearly it was his pride and joy .

Sadly my great Uncle passed leaving this Mercian. Does anyone know what age, model, components or any other details? I only have this picture at the moment. Any pointers appreciated. Thanks

makes sense given sShokwave sold Boulder bikes for a couple of years

You know you want it 😁

Looks very tidy with a mint XT chainset. Imagine it’s all the money for one of these but has best offer too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256455056970?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=eDf6HSudT9m&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Looks in very good condition. 90% original. On my doorstep if anyone is interested. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176314337883?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=GWN521CmSne&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Black Mavic headset is another £75 especially in 1 1/4..that was a signature sShokwave part on their builds

Morning mate ..soz for delay. Mine is off a DX shifter sorry ☹️

This week ? Some of us have been moaning on here for decades

That’s why proper canti cables were 2mm thick..you could pull a truck with them..they were never going to snap

Anything made by Zoom..not even Ned Overend’s endorsement could convince me it wasn’t anything but cheap light crap. Also what’s this about cantilever brakes ..am I on the wrong forum? We didn’t need working brakes or suspension in the 80s!
