Built for the long ride
From café loops to cross-country tours, Mercian touring bikes are made to go the distance. Classic designs like the Audax and King of Mercia combine comfort, versatility, and timeless craftsmanship. Whether you're chasing hills, riding sportives, or setting off on a round-the-world adventure, these frames deliver smooth, responsive miles with unmistakable style.
For a sleeker, contemporary option, the Pro Lugless frame delivers modern geometry and exceptional responsiveness, perfect for long-haul tours, sportives, and endurance rides. Together, these models prove that steel touring bikes are built for the journey, not just the destination.

Lightweight Steel
Classic Feel
At Mercian, we’re proving that steel is still the ultimate ride companion. Our hand-built frames aren’t heavy old relics — they’re fast, responsive, and seriously lightweight. With complete bikes averaging around 9kg, you’ll get all the comfort and durability of steel with the kind of performance you'd expect from carbon. Smooth, strong, and made to last a lifetime.
