Mercian in the rough

what bosses? those look like band-on derailer levers. it does look like it’d make a pretty decent conversion, tho. beats the fuck out of yet another Schwinn fucking Varsity.

Oh yeah.
I was fucking around anyway.
If it gets converted dick is punched.

Id personally clean it up immaculately and put it on ebay or something.
Maybe that WMD douche will buy it for his harem.

Diluted simple green, some rags, and a soft toothbrush for detail work.

I would use undiluted dish soap or hand cleaner on the tough dirt/grease spots.

Please don’t convert that.

He’s not going to.I’m trying to convince him to throw some racks and fenders on there so we can go bike camping.

That would look sick with untaped b123s

Werd. Throw on some 75’s, blue anno’d of course, and a hed up front and now you’re talking. Haha I said hed.

Am i the only one who thinks the fork, top tube, and down tube are all bent?

I’m glad I read the entire post before responding, because I was going to say this. Maybe it’s just the photo, but that shit looks bent up to me.

they’re not bent. That was the first thing I looked over when the dude that worked there said “how bout 100 bucks” because i figured he must know what he’s got and sees some kind of major flaw. but nope. just had no idea what he was giving away.
