Paul Smith 531 × Mercian Cycles
Sports enthusiast Sir Paul Smith had dreams of becoming a professional cyclist before he turned his hand to design, so he's something of an expert when it comes to picking out a pair of wheels. This fixed-gear bike has been built as a collaboration with his label and Mercian, a British bespoke brand. It has been hand-crafted from start to finish in matte-black, lightweight steel. Fitted with a range of custom high-end kit including a handmade Fizik saddle and Continental tyres, this lean piece is every bit as comfortable and responsive as it is handsome. Please note this bike is not available for same day delivery.

Curved wrapped Nitto handlebars with single front brake, engraved emblems, handmade leather Fizik Arione saddle, Mavic Ellipse wheels, Continental Grand Prix four-season tyres, customised Campagnolo chainset, Izumi chain, pedals with toe clips and straps
