Title: Ebay: Mercury 610s, Rohloff hub, Schmidt dynamo hub, low mileage
Post by: DaveHughes on May 11, 2025, 04:25:55 PM

Hi all, just listed my Thorn Mercury on eBay as its not getting used:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/306297616345 (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/306297616345)

Gunmetal grey. Frame size is 610s (I’m a touch under 6 foot).  Rohloff hub (recent oil change), Schmidt Son 28 hub and Edelux II light, Tubus titanium rack, set up tubeless on DT Swiss wheels.  Less than 1000 km so in really good condition.  Just not using it.

Just in case anyone was interested.  I’m based in Wiltshire.

Thanks

Dave

I hope you get a decent price, I thought the BIN was a bargain.  You must have ticked every options box, it isn't often I see a Mercury and consider it better spec than my own!

Thanks.  It was a birthday present to myself so went all in.  However, I’m riding different stuff now so seems a waste to let it just sit there.  Plus the fact that I seem to have reached the maximum of ‘n’ (as defined by my wife) so now its one in, one out.

OI/OO as the new n+1? Oh, the tragedy! (...especially as a premium on space means with 15 in my fleet, any new bike will be OI/OO for me as well!)

Best of luck on the sale, Dan.
