Yes, I was surprised it didn't fetch more, and the DA bb was icing on the cake. Didn't you buy my previous orange Mercian, the 1963 Superlight? This one is like deja vu all over again. I am trying to figure out if the paint is original on this one. It certainly has a lot of patina, and where chipped I can't see other colours underneath.

I wasn't going to do this, but Mrs. Pharoah talked me into it, and who am I to argue? Many of you following this thread will have seen this 1961 track frame on ebay, but anyway it arrived today and I put some wheels on to see what the clearances are like. Extra bonus: the bottom bracket, described only as `modern sealed' in the listing, is a Dura Ace 7610 NJS. I put some wheels on to see what the clearances are like. Sorry only phone pics for now.
