Mercian NOS Parts

Posted by: Skip on 12 October 2015

I have had a vintage 1970's version Mercian bike with a Vincitore frame that I recently gifted to a young man.   It was in good shape except for paint.   A friend of his rode and wrecked it.  Everything is fine except the pedal and the Zeus crank.   The pedal needs to be replaced and the crank arm needs either repair, re-tapping, or replacement.  (I have not seen it.)    This is a nice bike which is worth very little in the secondary market, but for which replacement parts are very difficult to find.  

 

Does anybody have any ideas about how to replace the crank parts?   We are in the US but could order from UK or elsewhere if needed.  Thanks for the help.

Skip, have you tried contacting Mercian?  A quick Google search appears to show them still in business in Derby.

Good thinking.  Will do.
