83 Mercian needs a new home
Hey all,
I really wanted to do a full restoration on this Mercian, but time and $$ aren't going to allow it right now. I think I'm going to let this one go and I would love your input as to the value. Thanks in advance and please excuse the terrible pics.

Given that the bike only has about half the parts on it to make it a full road bike, parting it out would make the most sense and bring the most value.

How about some more info, or at least what you know and or suspect? Size? Material? was it made for 27" or 700c wheels?
I would like to know is it was drilled for a Portacatena or has long dropouts.

incazzare.
Nothing matches and it's incomplete. I agree, part it out.
