This was a Mercier Velux, late 1970s French tart I built up with as many French parts as I could scrounge except for the SA FW 4 speed hub that I converted to 3 speed fixed gear.

It has since gone to Bicycle heaven after we got rear ended by a car a few years back.

This was built from the surviving parts of the Mercier.

Wasn't sure about the John Deere color scheme when I built it but I think it came out all right. 1973 Raleigh Super Course.

Will be building up a 'path racer' over the winter around an SA SAB3 drumbrake hub. Hope to scare up a BF 90mm front hub for a mega stopper.
