Whaaat?! Dump a guy who has a Moulton made for you?! Sheez, she should have married him! Heck, I'd marry him!

It just brings me a lot of comfort to know that I'm not the only one who has this "Folder Accumulation Syndrome"... Going to get my 6th tmrw - none other than the whacky Pacific "Carry Me" for travelling on crowded buses/trains

Hi John. I just emailed her an order and she told me the price. I neded a new gear changer widget because the cable was badly frayed. The whole changer and new cable was £6.75 or something like that. I didn't know you had a Merc.... or am I turning senile.

I've grown to like the drop bar well enough. I guess the change of bars would mean expensive brake and gear lever changes. All the parts on this thing are expensive Campy stuff. That's where the high price comes from, so I'll stick with it as it is. The stem is adjustable, so I have lifted it up and I find it quite comfortable now.

Yes, it's a seperable one. Comes apart quite nicely, but not as nicely as it rides. The suspension is a dream.

No, EvilV, you're not going senile :-)

I haven't got a Merc, but I've been looking for mudguards for a 305, & a 406 wheel, for my recumbent which I'm riding regularly again now. I remembered you posting some good prices for Merc's tyres, etc., so thought they'd have mudguards listed.

Have you by chance got a picture of them, to give me an idea if they'd fit please?

SC, thanks for the invite. Likewise, if you ever get to the Islands, send me a PM. You'll like the Maunakea bike. Were I to live in the Bay Area, it would be in HMB. It's sort of like the North Shore of Oahu vs. the urban area on the other side of a mountain range.

Not after global warming arrives...

Sorry john, I don't have any pictures over and above the merc pictures I've posted in the past. The spares are all up in the loft just now and I'm not going up there just now to photograph them. LOL - I know you aren't asking me too so don't be offended by that remark.

Anita's ebay shop has pictures but they aren't great and the ebay shop has a terrible picture of the front mudgaurd.

Here are some pictures of the merc with the mudguards visible. You know the wheel size so that might help. The front one has funny offset wire struts. They don't come down equally on both sides, and the rear one is held up at the rear on the rack. The front part of the rear one mounts to the frame so you would need to rig up your own wires somehow to mount it.

Agreed on those pic's, EvilV - hardly worth her publishing them.

From your description, it maybe isn't a good option actually, so I'll keep looking. Zefal make some for "kid's bikes" so I'll see what they're like.

So is the Sheeaune site affiliated with Anita, or one & the same?

Its the same business. She and her husband run it I think john.

How are you doing?
