Mercian project

Junoesc50

Retro Newbie
This lightweight touring bike was handbuilt for me at Beta Bikes in West Hampstead in London over 30 years ago, it's a Mercian frame, Reynolds 531 tubing throughout, 21 ins frame. The gear set is Suntour, with alloy quick release wheels, currently a ladies saddle (Madison) It needs some tlc, new tyres, all the bearings need to be checked as I haven't ridden it for 20 years. It would be a great project for somebody who would like a Mercian, I rode it in London and it has done some miles but there is nothing wrong with it mechanically as far as I can tell. You would have to strip it and it needs a good clean. There are some scrapes on the frame, it's metallic brown with red highlights. It has a pannier frame. Let me know if you want more info, I'm looking for around £300, as it is basically sound, and unusual as it isn't 'off the production line' The red 'highlights' are handlebar tape, btw
