For Sale: Un-Mercian track frame. 50s/60s. 56cm

My beautiful mystery frame just doesnt fit me.

I spent the last few months building this stunner up with lovely bits and it has repaid me with discomfort.

its NOT A MERCIAN before people think Im misleading them, however, it is cheaper than a mercian, likely rarer than a mercian, has nicer lugs than a mercian, but still looks like one from a distance... nice.

has been suggested by various self professed reliable sources that it could be a one off ephgrave, or a claud butler Bi-Lam, but nothing to prove it.

not sure if the forks are correct, however research tells me that there are no reasons for them not to be in terms of style.

56cm square, can supply old tange headset, but its not a great fit.
Drilled for both brakes. pretty certain its 531, though has a repaint style sticker.

i paid more, but clearly you lot deserve better, so £300

open to swaps, looking for something similarly as nice, but 60cm st + 56cm tt... dino arms no, awesome long stem, yes.

sorry for massive photos, have a few more if interested. the headset in the pic is NOT the one Id include

those lugs are incredible.

absolutely stunning

I would love to buy it.

It's my size but currently out of my budget.

Nice looking frame and I agree with Laurence.

macgee PM me if you can offer anything close, really cant budge much on price though..

Pretty....

May be it's A MERICAN?

I've seen this in real life and it's rather fine, even if it isn't a Mercian.

I know its a repost but; those lugs are incredible.

What size seatpost....that can indicate the quality of the tubing?

531 27.2 seatpost surely. very lovely indeed

27.2, nice weight, so certain its 531.

Anyone who can offer in the region of my price will be listened to...

Before laughed at.

Lolollol... I need to shift this.

Lovely lugs but overpriced for an unknown frame. If you come down on price I'd be interested.

PRICE DROP BOOMPARGE.

£333.33 perhaps even posted.

yes?

Too small for me sadly...

measly bump before I accept an offer?

any one else can feel free to make me one if you want to!

£130 posted.

ffuck, I meant £330

Ouch.

2nd dibs at 130

It resembles Carlton...

ooops 130 is too cheap, 330 is too much, halfway at 230 that'd be fair

Yeah £230 is reasonable imo. Make it so, OP, and gain a sale.

Sorry, fucked it, had a decent offer so will go with that, once sale goes ahead il close the thread.

Cheers for all the compliments!

this is back up for sale at £300.

This thread is confusing, I would have loved to take it at £130. I have £190 ready and waiting if you'll accept. PM me if you're interested.

sorry mate, that was a typo!!

now on at £300.

some pictures built up... so sad this doesnt fit I bloody love it.
