Mercian Cycles

At Mercian, we are all committed to hand building beautiful bespoke bicycles, after all we have been doing precisely that since 1946. Following the second World War Messers Crowther & Barker founded Mercian and selected the beautiful City of Derby in the heart of England to hand build bespoke bicycles. Mercian cycles have been exported all over the world, hence one of our traditional head crests states “Mercian Cycles, the world over”. Mercian still builds lightweight steel frames and bicycles by hand, using traditional frame building methods, with one craftsman building each frame from start to finish. Our frames are made from the finest Reynolds steel tubing and stove enamel finished to give the highest quality finish and durability. We customise your frame or bike to your individual requirements, there will not be another one quite like it.
