Nice Mercian. I like. Old? New? Is that the original fork?

I suggest changing that angle slightly. I look at that bike and all I can think is "do something about that goddamn seat angle!!!" |
the fork is sex, that bike has to be new...

yess same question! |
That Mercian has to be new. Looking at the forks, I'm wondering if there's any offset at all? What's the angles on the frame?
Beautiful bike! |

Mercian is an '06 custom. I just got it in the mail three days ago. 853 steel, straight blade fork with very little to no rake. I'm using Speedplay Zero Track edition pedals, so toe overlap won't be a big issue on the track...

It is pretty comfortable. the shell flexes a fair bit. But i've only ever used it at the velodrome, so no experience yet with long rides. |

http://gallery.dragonmodz.net/data/5...st_Medium_.JPG i love this |
I think that is the most brake levers I've ever seen on a single bike. Looks comfy and fast.

I'm soo in love! Here's my Somec (SOcieta' MEChanica). Borrowed my neighbours camera today and had to take a few pictures even if the bike is without the campy pedals and the chain. There's no air in the tires either but that's because I'm going to change them as soon as I get new ones.
