The Mercian Audax
The Audax is our classic all rounder ideal for both long distance rides and short spins, with a frame specification designed to soak up the miles; its pedigree is part race and part tour. Doubles up as a sporty day ride bike, giving you the option to have the mudguards on or off. Ride with style.
Blending timeless lugged steel elegance with versatile performance, the Audax is perfect for touring, randonneuring, and sportives. Designed for comfort over long distances, its balanced geometry delivers smooth handling and stability. Enjoy enduring comfort and effortless efficiency mile after mile.
Made with Reynolds 631 double butted steel tubing, the bike comes with disc brakes as standard (rim brakes are also an option). Crafted by hand in Derby, the bike is available as frame-only or fully assembled: choose one of our three assembly packages – or we can help you build up the assembly to your own specification.

The paint scheme you design is just a guide – we will confirm the scheme with you, and fine-tune it to your needs, before we start the frame build. Colours shown are for guidance only; due to screen settings, the shades may not be an exact match to the final paint colour.
