Its great to hear all your experiences with riding Mercian bikes. I'm over tomorrow to have a look at the bike, if all is well with it I'll be picking it up before the weekend. A guy in Dublin is selling a Campagnolo Atlanta 1996 wheelset, I'm thinking of buying them as they come from the same era as the bike. I can look at getting something else later down the line. If I have enough posts on the site I'll put up some pics. Thanks again for all the help I've been given, I'm really looking forward to taking it out on the road.
