Calculus Bikes Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 MineI am sure I have seen that green machine on some Hermanus trials. True beauty.
BSG Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 These bikes looks very, very neat. Hou die rubber op die grond!
etienne_jordaan Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Nice bikes guys. I also own one of Dave Mercer's stunning creations. Will post some pics soon.
Hairy Posted September 2, 2017 Author Posted September 2, 2017 Guys....just remember the time, passion and effort that was invested in building your frames.....please can you reflect this in your pics. The above might sound a little choppish.....but really now.
the nerd Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Not a Mercer product, but a StormBikes product! Equally cool... Got it in my grubby paws this morning - fitting shortly!
Trance Dance Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Any idea what a basic mtb frame will cost?Full suspension or hard tail??
Jewbacca Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Any idea what a basic mtb frame will cost?The term 'basic' is not 'a thing' when hand made custom bicycles are concerned. Not sure where Dave sits these days in terms of pricing. But with a paint job and all the input expect 20k
the nerd Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 He does have a stock frame. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Jewbacca Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 He does have a stock frame. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkHe does, but 'stock' is still meticulously hand notched and mitred tubes and a whole lot of skill and knowledge in brazing and artistry from Apeman. It is 'stock' in the angles, sizing and tube set only. The frame is still 100% hand built in the man cave
Fat Boab Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Today was such a good day.......and then I looked at the Mercer gallery on his website.

Spaceboy Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 I am finally a member of the Mercer owners club! Only a couple of (wet) rides in, but i absolutely love it. I am also blown away by how well Jared at BMC executed my idea of a left/right colour scheme.
