Thanks everyone.
With regard to your period build question @kjlem then the answer is pretty much. I say that because the crank is likely to be a new(ish) Dura Ace 7710 track crank so I then have interchangeability on the Mercian, Merckx and the Raleigh. TBH they are a fairly traditional looking track crank in any case.
Wheels will be the Dura Ace hubbed Open Pro's that I swapped out from the TokyoFixed although there will be the opption for the Suzue Promax with Campag Seoul 88 tubs from time to time.
Headset would have been Campagnolo. This willl in all likelihood now be a new Tange Seiki Levin CDS with a very similar stack height. I can't get overly excited about headsets, they aren't a part of the locomotion.
Initially I have a set of Cinelli 65 crit bars and stem to ue although I would like a pair of Nitto 125 bars. I've got these on the Mercia and they feel good. I have a Nitto Pearl stem ready.
A friend has a turbo saddle which I will try out although a San Marco Regal Girardi non slip would be my preference
