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!!!"

I am SO telling on you.

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...

You will burn in hell for ever and ever for putting the world's sexiest saddle on a bike that has moustache handlebars. And brake levers like this!!! Come on... Aero levers reversed? ewww

To the other lusters: Selle Italia Storika. Tensioned leather, ti rails, ~$100. How comfy is it, BTW? Usable without lancey-pants?

koyman 04-22-06 10:12 AM

I really like those tk2 bikes, yours included. i'd totally hit that ****.

queerpunk 04-22-06 11:03 AM

i've only ever used mine with lancey pants, so no comments there. 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.

i love this

Learn_not2burn 04-23-06 10:27 AM

I think that is the most brake levers I've ever seen on a single bike. Looks comfy and fast.

freddiesan 04-23-06 11:46 AM

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.

Sorry for the picture spam:
