My bottle cages weigh 80 grams, 80 grams!

I might grind some material off tonight.

Just don't fill your bottles up, you'll save loads of weight.

rare as fuck red leather titanium railed San Marco Regal £50?

Is it in good nick? A friend of mine could be interested.

CRC will price match this site to £37 for black 32h Open Pros, which when combined with free shipping is the cheapest I can find them at the moment (if I'm wrong I'd like to know where I can get them cheaper!)

£27.99 or £25.19 if you spend over £35 at Ribble.

Nice Crowther. The font on those is brill.

Those that are in/potentially in, if you can add yourself to the list, that would be grand. Mercian have said they can probably take about 20 in to the workshop at a time, but I reckon we'll eclipse that. So I'll try and organise us going in groups.

Plop yourself on-

No, it won't be a monster. Plenty of time for frame ogling, picture taking and cake eating.

Mercian was co founded by Tom Crowther.

You know t̶h̶a̶t̶ dat.

Nice ride just come on the bay.

Nice Roberts touring frame.

I was thinking maybe early September. How does that sound? Gives plenty of time to organise it properly. It may have to be a weekday to fit in a look around the workshop.
If the above is alright with folk I'll speak to Mercian again and sort out a definite date.

I've got a ltd edition Mark Morrison- Return of the Mack black leather tracksuit with sewn in gold chain. Would this be appropriate?

An excellent start.
A list it is then.

To all fellow Mercian owners.
I'm organising a Mercian Ride. It will begin and end at the Mercian Cycles shop in Derby, with a look in the factory en route, depending on numbers. I haven't set a date yet as I wanted to gauge interest, plus I need to speak to the nice chaps at Mercian again to confirm. I'm thinking possibly back end of the great English summer. Would any of you s̶h̶a̶n̶d̶y̶ ̶d̶r̶i̶n̶k̶e̶r̶s̶ Londoners be up for coming up for the day?

Monday 12th of September 2011

Yeah, sick. Gotta end up with a platinum gold cockpit, Ti mudguards and carbon spokey dokeys. Well rush.
Most important of all is that we register the name. You know, in case someone else starts using it.

Nice. What about a Workmate Run? Everyone has to come on a Black & Decker Workmate and make something on the way round.

Gabervelvet?

I don't live in The London, although I am tempted to travel down for this. My krew and I wear our gang handkerchiefs drooping from our right, back pocket. But, the hankies are made of tweed. Would this be acceptable?

I'm after a nice pair of Record or Chorus skewers. This style-
