It's rather nice but I'd be surprised if fetches the asking. Drive train doesn't really match the bike.

Non matching wheelset too! Very ambitious price...

It's nice and likely rides well, but it does have a bit of a parts bin feel - like some of the best bits were half inched for another project. If I were going to drop that on a second hand bike of that vintage I'd at least want matching skewers. I think the lister has forgotten we aren't in a pandemic any more.

Nice frame all said...

Mercian frameset on sale in the forum, for 1/3 the asking price...

Heinz 57 varieties bitsa. Nice frame, though not fillet brazed as stated.

Cool frame indeed! Willing to wager that it's a Dave Yates based on that rear brake bridge - pretty much a signature detail

Agreed on the parts though. I would have to bin the Claris rear mech on principle alone!
