Old 531 Mercian on FB

Thanks for posting the photo. Wow I can see the surprise at the price asked for that. I'm thinking anything over £100 is too much and I'd rather see closer to £50 for something that scrfufy.

So, let's see yours - in the Road for sale section.

It's in bits at the moment. On closer inspection it need new rims so I will be rebuilding it as so as I have rebuilt the wheels.

I find it hard to imagine someone paying £350 for it.

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.

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

Same seller also had an original Stallard that sold quickly
