Bikes: Mission Valencia '09 // Mercier 300 '73

For reference, this is a SIMILAR bike (1975) that uses nearly identical cranks (they don't say Nervar though), MAFAC Competition brakes (instead of Racer), and that's it. Everything else is identical. As gaucho777 suggested, it also has the Ideale saddle. Oh, and the wheels are obviously different.

I actually really dig that big silver rim on the back though. Do you think that looks good or is it not vintagey enough?



This Mercier 300 is exactly like mine, with the exception that none of my parts were gold. I'm not sure if they're different, or if gold paint wore off. As far as matching the decals and lugs, this is it though. The 100 and 200 have slightly pointier lugs AFAIK.
