Paul Smith moved his entire studio to Selfridges on Oxford Street for two weeks in early September and took the new Paul Smith/Mercian bikes along for the ride. Available only on the Paul Smith website, numbers are limited to 80.
The brushed steel bike is a classic road bike, using long point lugs inspired by the Mercian Professional and used on the 2006 Paul Smith/Mercian track bikes. Frame and forks are Reynolds stainless tubing silver soldered into the lugs, with the tubes given a brushed finish.
The gravel bike is based off our Mercian Ventura but using hand made custom long point lugs. Painted in a bespoke Paul Smith design, the frame is 'splashed' with the pink of the famous Melrose Avenue store in LA.
