In 1988 I bought a Mercian Professional frame. I've ridden it every season since then, and today I rode it for the first time in 2026. It's a pure racer with the most responsive handling of any bike I've ever ridden, and over 38 years has become the most intuitive. #merciancycles #BikeTooter #cycling

@petrikas@mastodon.art Yes, but with size 13/46 feet, that happens on all but one of my bikes. I’m quite used to it.
@bosquebill@techhub.social They are great tools.

@knapjack@social.vivaldi.net I bought it as a bare frame, wheels are 700c. Build them myself.
Yesterday I drove along some of my cycling routes. I'm ready for winter to end.

@petrikas@mastodon.art This is my only bike that has no overlap. Very different geometry!
