This morning, I had to go to my doctor's office in Chelsea for a blood sample. Along the way, I saw this bike parked outside Radio City Music Hall:
Yes, it's a Mercian Vincitore. Check out the head lugs:
OK, so the pants band blocks the lower head lug. But what you see on the top lug is a fine example of Mercian's work.
The color is an indigo-ish purple. The seat tube and head panels are a kind of light beige, with a tint of yellow. The owner/rider, it seems, decided to highlight the yellow with the rims, pedals and handlebar tape. While I'm not crazy about the "hipster fixie" touches, I do like the overall look of the bike. Plus, it's a Mercian, which by itself makes the bike interesting.
