I am selling this NOS (New Old Stock) 1973 Mercier 100 frame. It has never been used. It was assembled once, but not actually ridden. I paid about $600 for it a few years ago. This frame would be great if used for a single speed or fixed gear to use downtown. I am a bicycle enthusiast and professional bicycle mechanic, this frame was one of my many (too many) project bikes. I am getting rid of a lot of frame sets that I just don't have time to build up, and would like to use the funds from the sale of these to work on my 29'er and some other road and mountain bike projects that are a higher priority. This frame has been maintained in and stored properly. This frame set is in perfect condition, no rust or oxidization and you can clearly tell that it has not been used. It is the original paint, with all of the decals and plating. It is a luxtub tubing, which is one of the few differences between this and a Mercier 300 frame. I AM VERY MOTIVATED TO SELL
THIS SO ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED. I AM TRYING TO GET SOME OF MY MONEY BACK OUT OF IT. IF YOU WANT A BEAUTIFUL, ORIGINAL FRAME LIKE THIS, WHICH WAS ACTUALLY MADE IN FRANCE (NOT CHINA), THEN YOU CAN REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
Due to the popularity of this frame style, I am trying to sell in the Chicago area and would be willing to deliver.
