This my Custom Mercier put together from top to bottom to handle the busy, sketchy, pothole full streets of the city of Los Angeles. Her name is “Silver Haze” I bought the frame of craigslist for $170 mint condition. Every other part was picked and put together by me to suit my style of riding. With this set up I have done 50+ mile rides with no issues what so ever,went through glass, dirt, rocks. pot holes, you name it. Nothing ever has bent or broken. My tire selection is the best combo I’ve ever ran on my Mercier. No Flats at all, I love it. She handles very light, turns like a double sharp blade, and it fits me like a glove. I don’t own a car, I commute everywhere on my bike
