Frame arrived. BB is faced, headset installed but obv. fork is not cut and star nut not installed.
As expected it is a thing of beauty.

Oh, I assume it will come threaded. I thought it was a standard thing to be done.

Thanks for the replies, headset and startnut will be fitted by them.
Yeh, I will have a go at installing it myself.
With the online guides, the manuals and a bit of luck, I should be fine. I think.
Still have a niggling feeling I should go with Campag, but the practical guy in me is telling me no. Will post pictures as soon as I make some progress.

Sorry one additional question: crank arm length for road bikes ? How do I choose between 170 and 172.5 ?
In fixed gear I always run 165, frame size 52, I am not the tallest: 5'7''.

Cheers.

Hi guys,

So next week I am getting my brand new king of mercia road frame and planning to match it with Ultegra groupset.

I have decent bike mechanic skills, for years I have assembled and serviced my own fixed gear bikes, but I have never installed or adjusted road groupset ?

I want to install it myself, but is it realistic ? I have decent set of tools, chain tools, cable cutters, etc...
Should I go to a shop ?

Photos, etc... to come next week.

Cheers.

Pretty sweet deal for such a nice setup.
GLWS!

Hi,

Thanks for the offer, but I am only needed the cranks(no ring), for which I'm talks with another forum seller.
I will let u know if it falls through.
GLWS !

Still looking for this item.

Still looking for a Sugino 75 or Hatta Bottom bracket to go with Sugino 75 cranks.

PM sent.

Hi,

Each model in their line-up has a specific size: it's not huge, to get an idea please have a look at their website, under Catalog->Bags->Garbage Disposal.

Thanks.

To go with Sugino 75 cranks.

Want.

Thanks.

Reduced to £175. Will go to Ebay after the weekend.

I am selling my custom "Garbage Disposal" custom roll-top bag. I have used it only a few times, it is literally like new, selling it because I have bought another bag since then. Its better if it gets put to proper use, than sit unused.

I've added most of the extra options, no expense spared. See the list below:

Options: Stash Pocket, Change Pocket, Roll Top Extension Strap, Handle, Swing Access Side Pocket, Pen Slots, Key Loop, Double Outer Pocket, Polo Mallet Attachment, Reflective Stripes.

Also comes with an extra(longer) chest strap.

Check out their website for official description.

It was around 375$ (excluding postage and custom fees), I am asking for £200.

Collection from SW London evening/weekends or City of London during the week.

No dibs, please PM if interested

Thanks, Tomo. Managed to add a better one.
PQR - frame is drilled for rear-brake, the original owner who had it custom made was running it as a SS. It also has a very old fashioned pump peg underneath the TT.

All in all, I quite like it and is now my only bike.

I am plotting to acquire a road Mercian.

Finally, trying to upload some pictures of my Mercian Vincitore Track.

(sorry for non drive-side picture, poor quality, etc... . The original picture is not uploadable for some reason)

Trying to post a picture with my Mercian Vincitore Track

Right, calmed down a bit. Here is the Vincitore with some upgrades I have added recently. I am using this to commute through London.
(The server doesn't seem to allow me to upload files, I will do so when its fixed)

I overreacted. Sorry. Let's move on.

Hi,

Is this still for sale ?

Edit: maybe I over-reacted when I took the pictures down. Just not comfortable to discussing personal stuff on public forums. Bike was bought 100% legit. Stedlocks - PM for more info if you want.
(This is the last post on this topic from me)

I bought it from the owner on ebay.
Don't want to get into more specific details on a public forum.

You must have seen on ebay.

Will post pictures after renovation.
