For Sale 52cm King Of Mercia Frame. £100 NOW SOLD

[winjohn]

I have had a look at what I have to do between now and the end of the year and have had to make some tough decisions on my priorities. The upshot is that the King Of Mercia that I bought earlier this year will have to go since I have too many projects on the go atm and this needs me to rebuild some wheels that I just do not have the time for.

I did intend to rebuild the bike but i thought I would see if anyone wants to buy just the frame first.

Here are some pictures of the frame as it is now. Stripped down but complete with Stronglight A9 headset and the BB both in good order.

The frame is serial number 9297 with matching original forks, I have confirmed with Mercian that the royal blue and yellow colours are as it came from the factory complete with pinstriping.

The blue paint has badly faded in several areas so I asked Mercian what price a repaint would be and their quote was around £500, before things like decals and pinstripes so really not viable for a build like this.

So for I bike that I can't ride since it is way too small I feel the best approach will be to sell off the frame as is to someone who it might fit and therefore would be building it for themselves to enjoy.

I have looked on eBay to get some idea of what price to ask and I think if I ask for £100 collected from Winchester then it would be the cheapest Mercian frame on offer.

Very fairly priced, paint looks good enought to me, if you want to use it for its intended purpose.

My thinking with this is that I feel there are many people who like the idea of owning a Mercian and this gives a nice low entry level, rather than building up the bike and asking £250 for it.
