Subject: [CR]70's Mercier FS

A bike-boom relic for sale: early 1970's basic gaspipe Mercier sport bike. Bike is complete except for front derailleur but needs cables and labor to be running. Frame is proportioned for a dachshund--51cm c to c seat tube and 55.5 cm c to c top tube. Cranks: Solida cottered Brakes: Mafac Racer Bar/Stem: Generic French steel bar, Pivo stem Pedals: Steel Lyotard rattrap Derailleurs: Simplex Prestige f, r, and levers, main body casting of front derailleur is broken Wheels: Normandy Sport high-flange hubs, generic tubular rims, Conti Sprinter 250 tires--fair condition. I don't know if the rear hub is French or English thread as I lack the old large diameter Maillard freewheel remover to reveal the hub threads with. Frame is pale blue with black accents and big mylar Mercier seat tube decal. Dropouts are forged Simplex without derailleur tab--the best feature, and would make the bike a good fixed-gear candidate.
