Vintage Mercier Bike Gets A Fixed Gear Makeover

  • Seeing photos of vintage Mercier bikes in pink with the white decals, I really wanted to use that inspiration and build a fixed gear Mercier.
    After searching eBay I found a Mercier frame in my size with Tange forks for £70 and I was set. Once it arrived it went straight to the powder coaters, East Coast Powder Coating in Hull where it was shot blasted and done in this great pink.
    I then built it up on a budget with a mix of new and used parts from eBay. Once it was built I wanted to take it out for a relaxed normal ride, nothing crazy, just out in the sun riding bikes having a good time.
    I love the simplicity of a fixed gear and in my opinion old steel road bikes with gears aren't that fun to ride, with this I can jump on and just pedal and I'm all good.
    Thanks for watching.

    Once those decals were on I would have clearcoated the frame and seal them in.But its a lovely bike all the same!

    The problem with those straps,is that in the tricky situation, your leg can stuck on the pedal,and you can like seriously hurt urself! It happened to me once,I nearly killed myself!
    LoL

    Riding a bicycle on UK roads without any brakes is illegal. The fixed hub counts as 1 brake; a UK bicycle must have 2 brakes for use on the road. Hence the fact that traditionally, fixed-gear bikes would have a front caliper brake.

      This is the situation in most countries, as far as I'm aware. Each wheel must have its own form of braking mechanism. Police never seem that bothered unless you're involved in an accident; in which case, you may be held at least part responsible if you were riding fixed without a front brake.

    Only an idiot would convert a classic Mercier to fixed gear!
