Hi all, loving the appreciation for Mercian's. I worked next door to the factory on Ascot Drive in Derby when I was 17, spent many lunch hours watching them build these beautiful frames from nothing, was a real joy to see. Of course I fell in love with them, I have hand 5 in total over the years. Pictures of 3 below (King of Mercia, Audax and Canyon) I have also had a Pro-lugless and a Lowpro back in the day when I was racing. I am also about to collect a 1967 Superlight, new build on the way :)
