Cycles Mercier is a French bicycle manufacturer founded in 1919 by Emile Mercier in Saint-Etienne, the cradle of French cycling manufacturing.
This classic Mercier dates back to the 1970s and it is an elegant ladies road bicycle indeed. The frame of this elegant bike is made of steel tubes joined together with lugs and then painted in the typical Mercier pink color. The fame is build in a way, where the sloping top tube splits behind the seat tube in half. It ensures a proper rigidity in the read triangle yet keeping the bike comfortable as well. French frame builders often called this construction simply "sport".
Regarding the components, a festival of French components takes place. Solida crank, Lyotard rims and pedals, Simplex shifting, Mailladr hubs, you name it. When it comes to practicality, there are the nice mudguards and a rear rack.
Great bicycle for your city adventures or leisure weekend rides - in style! Ready for L'Eroica.
