Gary W’s 1971 Mercier

Posted

Here is Gary W’s one-owner 1971 Mercier. More strange looking angles on this one;  Gary, did you ever run into anything on this? Oh, and that is one serious cat!

Year  1971 Make Mercier Model  ?

A little bit about it:    I purchased this bike new in August 1971. Pretty original except for tires and derailleur. Sew up tires.  .I think I paid about $150 for it. Seems like it was a 200 series but I can’t remember. That was almost 40 years ago. The bike always stayed inside, so it is in pretty good shape. Serial number on the Mercier badge is 0769. Some nicks, etc.

Thanks Gary

    Hi, I bought this bike from Gary, looking to get parts but when I saw it I was stunned by how cool it was and promptly took the fork over to a friends who straightened it on a lathe. Now it is rideable but too small for me and hanging up in the corner of the garage next to the 40’s German roadster. I would like to sell to a good home collector or if Gary wants it back I will sell it back for the same price i paid for it.
