Bikes: A few

Not too bad for 42 years old-Mercier

Today I'm getting close to finishing this project up. Still needs a couple adjustments, tires glued down, a couple things tightened up, cable ends, that sort of stuff.

My older sister bought this in 1971 during the bike boom. I was jealous beyond belief. It was one of the nicest bikes I'd ever seen. I was riding a gas pipe Jacques Anquetil at the time.

A couple years later (1975?), after she lost interest, she sold it to me. Chrome was a little rough, as it had spent some time on an apartment balcony.

It's been moved around a lot since.

It's all original, although some parts have been replaced.

Here are a couple pics:
