    Mercian cycles call it a day .

    The last three new frames I have purchased have all been made in the far East. One steel and two titanium. Quality and price was hard to beat.

    Mercian cycles call it a day .

    I don't think there will be a big raise in the sales of second hand frames . If they aren't selling already at fair prices. The retro market is dying a slow death .

    How rare is it
