Actually I have one of my Grail bikes & sort of have my other Grail bike. *The Grail bike I have is a 1924 Mead Ranger like the one my father had when he was in college. *I built up wheels with Velocity Blunts so that I can ride it. *I'm impressed that he did day rides of 50 & 60 miles though he was in his early twenties & in good shape. *I have lusted after a Mercian Vincitore for quite soon time. *When a 1985 King of Mercia in my size became available I couldn't resist. *It was built with Campy NR, is a beautiful green & cream & was never ridden. *I guess the original owner saw it as a piece of art & it was too small for the second owner who just added it to his collection & never rode it. *I'm the 3rd owner. *It isn't quite my Grail bike but it is close. *
