Custom steel frame bicycles
At Mercer Bikes we take pride in building custom bicycles that are bespoke, one-off designs.
Build your dream bicycle
Since 2015 we have built over a hundred completely bespoke, custom bicycles for our clients. A custom build is made to measure and considers all design elements. We discuss the geometry and fit, your choice of components and offer a variety of paint finishes. Please email us to start the conversation.
Mercer Signature Range
Over the years we have designed five signature bicycles. Here are our top sellers.
Grubby Grivet
This is one of our semi-stock, Signature Range gravel frames - the Grubby Grivet.
It's fillet brazed from Columbus Zona tubing and sports a carbon Columbus Futura Gravel fork up front. Built to this spec, it has clearance for 40c tires and this makes it an ideal all-rounder. It can wear 32c road slicks and hang with the fast boys or slip into something a little more comfy and enjoy some gravel and greenbelt.
Lanky Lemur
The Lanky Lemur is designed as a great all-rounder. It climbs well, is agile and fun on single-track and it won't hold you back on the descents either.
We build the Lanky Lemur from Columbus Zona 29er tubing in standard set sizes and with our own take on hardtail geometry. Its available in "Factory Fillet" or "Deluxe Fillet" versions and there are a myriad of optional extras to choose from to make it truly unique.
Hungry Monkey
The Hungry Monkey is the original Mercer frame.
This Hungry Monkey belongs to Nils Hansen and it has been raced to many podiums. Nils has repeatedly proven to the enduro crowd that you don't have to be fully suspended: you just have to have mad calculating skills and courage in abundance like he does. Nils gives far too much credit to the bike- in reality he'd give us all a sound spanking no matter what he rode.
