Title: SJS Mercury
Post by: geocycle on August 27, 2016, 03:58:48 PM

A rather nice example of a Mercury just appeared on the SJS site. If only it was a size smaller..... If anyone else wants to return a 550L in the same spec don't hesitate!  :) https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/bikes/0-thorn-mercury-580l-green-touring-bike-nearly-new/

Nice bike.
I can see the cable for the rear disc brake but where are the x2 cables for the Rholoff. On my Raven they come under the cross bar and then down to the hub.
Is this an Ex box and the cables run underneath the bike?
Just interested.

Yes the rohloff cables run underneath. Probably helps with the potential issue of rack and disc brake fouling the ex box. It's a lovely build, just needs a son Dynamo!
