In this age of speed of manufacture it is pleasing to find a frame with intricate lug work, cut by hand, as our Vincitore model. If you are looking for a frame that is distinctive, beautiful, hand-built (as all our frames) by one craftsman from start to finish – this could be the frame for you. Hours are spent cutting and filing the Vincitore lugs from plain/blanks, the result is a work-of-art, aesthetically pleasing and structurally more rigid owing to the longer lugs. A distinctive frame available only from Mercian. The Vincitore standard model has the spearpoint head lugs, fork crown and hand-cut seat lug, with a hand-cut bottom bracket. Oversize tube option which will allow for a 1-1/8″ A-head fork column.
