Description

Royal House Antiques

Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this sublime custom made Mercian Reynolds 531 steel fixed wheel track or road bike with Campagnolo Record & Brooks Titanium parts  

HISTORY

I am selling my entire bike collection which comprises of around 30 bikes, all luxury high end pieces, there are Colnagos, Mercian, Giant, Roberts, Cervelo’s, Lemon’s, Specialized, with Carbon Titanium or Columbus steel frames and some of the most expensive parts in the world, there are also some frames, again Titanium and Colnago, Bianchi etc, some wheels Zipp 303’s, Campagnolo Hyperion carbons etc, and then a few parts. I also have a NOS in the case Dura Ace 25th Anniversary groupset. These are all that is left over from my bike shop, I have kept them for years hanging around my furniture workshop as pieces of art and to remember the good old days, my new warehouse doesn’t have the same hanging space so these all need to go!

DESCRIPTION

This bike was bought solely because I’ve never had a Mercian before and I love the fancy lugs, its been kitted out to the highest spec and is in sublime condition, the frame can be converted back to use as a normal road bike as it has the rear hanger mech, the front mech would be a band on and the down tube shifter mounts would be the same

Transport wise I would prefer for all bikes to be collected from Pulborough RH201DE after being paid for, I can happily post them or if you are within certain areas, I can have them delivered with my courier, for international shipping please ask for a quote before you bid as the amount listed is just a guide

CONDITION PLEASE READ

The bike has been given a good clean and the chain oiled and that’s it. I have never personally ridden it so it might need some fettling, from what I can see it is as smooth as silk. It is a vintage bike so it will have some light patina marks here and there, please make sure you view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around the condition, to my eyes and hands this bike is in first class condition. The worst I can see is the bar tape is a bit slack

Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid

CONDITION

Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description pertaining to the condition. Please also ask any questions before you bid and not after, all of our items are sold as seen and as listed

Royal House Antiques cannot be held liable for any independent assumptions made regarding the items we sell, if you are unsure on any point, please feel free to ask for clarity  

Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of creasing and wear, we recommend annual waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade   

 

IMPORT DUTY

Most countries charge some kind of import duty however almost all of our items won’t incur any charges as the items are exempt from tax due to the age and materials used

For European deliveries the price you will be quoted will include all clearance documentation and any customs charges so there won’t be any additional fees

For international deliveries such as the United States there can be some import duty to pay and or a clearance fee, I would estimate that 99% of all deliveries clear customs without being stopped for either

All duties are the responsibility of the purchaser who is the importer, they can’t be covered by the seller or shipping agent or factored in with additional retrospective discounts

 

RETURNS

Royal House Antiques offers a no quibble return policy if the item is not as described, if there are any issues with the piece you will be refunded in full once the item has been returned and inspected within 14 days, alternatively if there is a small issue, we can discuss finding a mutual resolution that makes all parties happy

We don’t offer a sale on approval service which means you can purchase the item, have it delivered and if you simply don’t like it, return it, this comes under change of mind or doesn’t fit. There is a lot of time, money and work involved in transporting goods around the world, the costs incurred can be vast so my advice would be if you are unsure on a piece please ask as many questions as you like to make sure you understand everything before you buy, if you are still unsure then please either arrange a viewing in person or if that’s not possible then don’t buy from an online retailer, perhaps look for a local gallery instead
