All you aspiring Mercian owners should note that Mercian sizes are usually stated center-to-top, so that should be kept in mind when buying one. My recently acquired King of Mercia was smaller than I expected, although it also seems to have an unusually high BB for a road bike, which compensates. I don't know if the high BB is typical of Mercian.

One of the things that is so refreshing about this list is the selfless generosity of the membership. ;-) I don't have one either, but unfortunately I ride a 51cm ctc or thereabouts . I fear in my endeavors to stretch to the pedals, a 63cm frame will become way too familiar.
