Let's See Your Mercian Photo Thread

Let's see your Mercians. Any year, any condition. Hopefully we can get photos of most of the Mercians in one place.

This is a 1982 Vincitore. Originally, I thought it was from the late 70's because of the derailleur cable routing and the 120 mm rear dropout spacing and the long Campagnolo rear dropouts. However, the serial number ends with "82" which I learned from this forum indicates it is a 1982 frame and fork.

I purchased this frame and fork in 1999 as NOS and built it up with Campagnolo Nuovo/Super Record components. Because of the fork and rear dropout spacing and the normal reach (aka long reach) old brakes, I can fit up to a 33mm tire.

The photos may show white particles from a recent polishing.
