It just brings me a lot of comfort to know that I'm not the only one who has this "Folder Accumulation Syndrome"... Going to get my 6th tmrw - none other than the whacky Pacific "Carry Me" for travelling on crowded buses/trains

Hi John. I just emailed her an order and she told me the price. I neded a new gear changer widget because the cable was badly frayed. The whole changer and new cable was £6.75 or something like that. I didn't know you had a Merc.... or am I turning senile.

Yes, it's a seperable one. Comes apart quite nicely, but not as nicely as it rides. The suspension is a dream.

No, EvilV, you're not going senile :-)
I haven't got a Merc, but I've been looking for mudguards for a 305, & a 406 wheel, for my recumbent which I'm riding regularly again now. I remembered you posting some good prices for Merc's tyres, etc., so thought they'd have mudguards listed.
Have you by chance got a picture of them, to give me an idea if they'd fit please?

SC, thanks for the invite. Likewise, if you ever get to the Islands, send me a PM. You'll like the Maunakea bike. Were I to live in the Bay Area, it would be in HMB. It's sort of like the North Shore of Oahu vs. the urban area on the other side of a mountain range.

Anita's ebay shop has pictures but they aren't great and the ebay shop has a terrible picture of the front mudgaurd.
https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Front-mudguard...ayphotohosting
Here are some pictures of the merc with the mudguards visible. You know the wheel size so that might help. The front one has funny offset wire struts. They don't come down equally on both sides, and the rear one is held up at the rear on the rack. The front part of the rear one mounts to the frame so you would need to rig up your own wires somehow to mount it.

From your description, it maybe isn't a good option actually, so I'll keep looking. Zefal make some for "kid's bikes" so I'll see what they're like.
So is the Sheeaune site affiliated with Anita, or one & the same?

Agreed on those pic's, EvilV - hardly worth her publishing them.

How are you doing?
