## Description

Introducing The Nano - uncompromised quality of Mercier comes to a super compact yet ultra-versatile bicycle. This bike is unique it&apos;s almost custom. So unique and custom, it is not on the Mercier website - yet.  Yokota Fritz (famous cycling expert) says: &quot;Minivelo&quot; bicycles are bicycles with small, 20&quot; wheels but with road or city / hybrid bike design influences rather than the BMX bike look. Though at a glance these compact bicycles look like they might be folders, they&apos;re not typically folding bicycles. Because the small size lends to easier storage, minivelo bikes are hugely popular in some Asian countries, Japan, Korea and Taiwan in particular. They have a following in Europe and the UK, also. These lightweight bicycles &quot;feel&quot; a lot like a normal bike. Unlike many comparably equipped folding bikes, they tend to be reasonably stiff and responsive. Many people carry minivelo bicycles onto light rail and train systems as part of a multimodal commute.&quot;  What does this compare to- Compare this bike to other Mini Velos like Soma, Gios or Masi mini velo bikes which sell for $900+ with similar specs.  Nano Sizing Guide* 48cm - 4&apos;11&quot; to 5&apos;7&quot; 53cm - 5&apos;8&quot; to 6&apos;3&quot; This is a general guide. Between sizes? Size up for taller handlebars and longer reach / tall legs / long arms. Size down for more aggressive position and a bit quicker handling / short legs / short arms or upper body. Sizing is a personal preference, the final choice is up to you.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic bicycle for those with mechanical know how.
            
*by P***T on August 20, 2018*

This is the second Nano that I’ve purchased. Another one of my children outgrew their juvenile bicycle, so they got a Nano. It’s a go-anywhere, roll over anything platform. Perfect for teenagers. This bike can go almost anywhere a bmx can go and has the right geometry to travel fair distances efficiently.Keep in mind, this is not a child’s bike. The rider needs to be at least 5’4” on the small frame to safely reach the brake levers.My complaints: The bike arrives with almost no lubrication. I had learned this in my research before I bought my first nano, so I was prepared to tear everything down and grease all the bearings properly. I have the proper tools to disassemble the bottom bracket, headset, and hubs, so that wasn’t an issue for me. People without tools might want to include the cost of a tune up at their LBS.The wheels are drilled for presta valves. Save yourself the headache of ordering 20” presta valve inner tubes (if you can even find them) and drill out the rims to fit schrader valves. Those are readily available at any big box store for cheap. While your in there, replace the rim tape on each wheel. The original tape is garbage. A spoke puncture is just a matter of time with it.The components are low end (excluding the front and rear derailleurs, which are decent), but the complete package is so much fun I don’t mind upgrading as needed.This is a great bike for those with a little bit of mechanical ability. I’d buy another one in a heartbeat.
