Description
Cycles Mercier is a French bicycle manufacturer founded in 1919 by Emile Mercier in Saint-Etienne. Many famous Champions like Poulidor made the bikes in distinctive pink colour famous all over the world. This classic Mercier dates back to later 1970s and it is as iconic as it gets. The original pink paintjob has been seen on the biggest stages of professional racing for many years, the Reynolds 531 was the benchmark for all fine steel tubesets and the French parts are almost essential on such a bike. Although it is not completely true by this exemplar, which alongside Simplex and Mafac sports also Swiss Weinmann brakes, Italian Nisi rims of exotic Spanish Zeus shifting.
Completely serviced in our workshop, it has been also fitted with brand new parts like the handmade tyres, chain, cables, housing or the bartape.
A classic racing bicycle with fine touch.
