Mercian 753 road frame and forks, 48cm

The frame has really compact geometry, the 753 tubing is super light and I think it will only take 650 wheels. Measurements as follows:

C-to-C 47-48cm
Seat tube 48-49cm
top tube 50cm
front to centre 52cm
rear chainstays 43cm

I bought the frame recently from a lady owner, but haven't built it up and I'm a bit sad to see it go. The paint is in really good condition, bar a couple of small chips and some wear around the rear dropouts. Original transfers all on and also good nick.

SOLD!

If I didn't have one of these on order at almost the same size I so would. Damn! If only this had come up a month ago.

Lovely.

Can't get a refund? It's been sitting in my room for a good few months.

I've put a deposit down and they've started work on it now + it's custom enough for me to feel it's worth holding out for at this point.

I reckon you'll sell your frame very quickly. It's so difficult to find super small frames, especially lovely ones like this.

Good luck with it.

Might be worth messaging her? (or khornight2, I think that's her partner and he's on here a bit more). I know she's after a track frame but she wasn't having much luck with that.

The dropouts aren't horizontal ... though can still work as fixed/ss

thanks for thinking of us Tricity, Nick-Nacks work have blocked lfgss, so contacting me is indeed a better idea.

The mercian looks lush, but our finances are a bit up in the air so don't think we can afford it right now... in a month and a half we'll be moving... coincidentally the differance in deposits should be about £200... Fate? Obviously, only if you've not sold it by then.

Emailed the link to my gf, this frame would be perfect for her. And I think she has a little bit of student loan left over too...

Not susprisingly there's been loads of interest, Auchbruch messaged me first by a whisker, sorry mreoin (he was totally chivalrous though and gave Khornight2's girl dibs), but I would like to sell before summer's over--I want a new bike too!

Nope, girlfriend would rather save the money for windows rather than buy a bike... I'd rather live in a cave and have loads of bikes... except i'd want to protect them in some way...

Anyway, thanks James for giving us first refusal, this is me refusing :-)
