Chas.

Pretty in pink but a little to spendy for me. I watched this bike all week and was tempted to bid on it until the price went over $900 USD. If it were only a 55cm or 56cm....

I've been looking for a nice classic Mercian for several years. All of the Mercian bikes and frames I've seen so far on eBay have been really beat up and/or the ones in "flamboyant" pink were all faded.

I agree with you about the price, what can you get today in a new steel bike for ~$1700?

Real men do ride pink! Tell riders like Rik van Looy, Cyrille Guimard, Barry Hoban or Joop Zoetemelk that they are "Girlie Men" because they ride pink bikes! ;-)

BTW, I have two OT Centurion "Ironman" Tri bikes in Miami Vice pink and yellow, a 1986 and a 1987!
