Vincitore & Vincitore Special

Vincitore 1 - Vincitore 2 - Vincitore 3

In this age of speed of manufacture, it is pleasing to find a frame with intricate lug work, cut by hand, as on our Vincitore model.

The Vincitore has for many years been the model that riders aspire to own when they are looking to purchase that "special" frame. If you are looking for a frame that is distinctive, beautiful, hand-built (as all our frames) by one craftsman from start to finish, which is perfectly at home on day rides or on touring holidays - this is the frame for you.

Hours are spent cutting and filing the Vincitore lugs from 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.

As with most Mercian frames - the Vincitore model can be built to suit most disciplines - from track, audax, to full-on touring.

Also available with long profiled spearpoints on the bottom bracket shell and outside of forkcrown, as a Vincitore Special.
