Title: New Mercury has arrived
Post by: Swislon on October 20, 2017, 04:49:39 pm: Amazing service as always and the bike arrived on Wednesday.
This is a photo from our ride today on a twenty mile round trip (including a coffee stop!) to Wetherby in the claggy weather.
Lovely ride on the tubeless tyres.

Tubeless tyres, will be interested to hear how they perform in the long term. May be a bit of competition for the Marathon Plus heavyweights.

Size is 610L. I'm 6' 2"

Tubeless is an interesting experiment.
Comfort definitely good. Speed no slower because of the tyres (legs different discussion!). Longevity we shall see.

Anto the idea of the Rohloff is that I don't need to clean it too often! In this weather I would need to clean after every ride and that ain't going to happen!!

That's encouraging, I'm the same height with the same size on order, it looks nicely proportioned with isn't always the case in frames our size.
