Another Mercier frame find in France
Hope you don't mind if I reawaken this thread, but I recently picked up a Mercier frame with seat pin and Mercier Sport branded saddle at a brocante fair. Some quick pics attached.
It's very light, has Vitus dropouts, a Zeus BB set, an M + crown logo on the rear stay uppers and "3" stamped beneath the bottom bracket.
The paint job is slightly wacky, with dark green ghost-sprayed over the tube joints, on a pale-green base-coat not unlike Bianchi Celeste. Oh, and no rear eyelets on the dropouts.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
