Monday Market – 1970s Mercier Bikes For Sale

Last week a reader, Bluenoser, sent me this Mercier he found on Kijiji Halifax Nova Scotia. They are asking $350 for this vintage Shimano 600 equipped bike.

Mercier’s current Reynolds 853 steel 600/Ultegra level bike has a $2500 msrp?!

Derby King also has a vintage Mercier for sale. Unlike the Mercier above, this model is outfitted with French components (Is that a good thing?) No price listed.

    I think $200 is a fair price. I’ve seen worse for more.

    I just saw a Mercier (1970s) in decent condition for sale on Craigslist here for $70…opinions?? Right now I’m riding a Schwinn World Sport from 1986 and I have no idea if the Mercier would be an upgrade or a downgrade.

    it would most definitely be an upgrade
