Fashion takes on Mercian
This ended up in my feedreader this morning:
Paul Smith designs for Mercian.
I don't know who Paul Smith is but I'd def ride the yellow/orange and pink track bike. The green and purple roadie not so much. At least he kept the Mercian trademark barber pole on the seat tube.

i don't see how this is any different from any other mercian, except that the colors are uglier.
maybe thats what "design" work is about

I know a guy named Paul Smith...
never realized he was color blind though.
Seriously though... can't you get a Mercian in any color you want? Why get one with some other dude's name on it? What's next, a red white an blue Tommy Hillfrigger Walker?

I like the touring bike. I like the old school logo better though. I guess I'll never understand fashion.
