Dropbox always reminds me of Half-Life Portal.

To share your Dropbox folder you need to grab the url via the share menu/button.
You copied the url from the browser address bar, which won't work

Pictures should work now. Changed the link in the description.

Are these the yellow label version? Any pics and a price? Thanks.

If I remember they are the red label ones. I'll check tonight and get a price.

Hi. Really nice Mercian.

Disassemble this bike and sell the components individually or at least in small batches (cranks, remover and rings, say, then levers and brakes, deraillieurs and shifters ... you get the idea ...) to get the price you seek.

Some of the parts on there are really desirable, as is the frame & forks in such nice condition. For instance, that stem doesn't belong on that bike. Sell it to someone building a beautiful Condor, bob's your Uncle.

GLWS.

Cheers Skully.

Thought I would end up splitting it to sell. Have to be when my exams are over. No time at the moment. Aha.

Totally agree with Skully you get more for the parts than the whole bike GLWS
