Mercian, lovely bike had mine for a while, the only bike I have. Its a 1978, orange, using the original bars and stem, white tape on lower part of bar, so a lot of metal showing. I converted it to fixed, but kept all the braze-ons, its solid hasnt let me down and prefer it over my first fixed, maybe because i built this one up. Been thinking about a brooks b-17 (honey) as running with a selle san marco (black) at the mo. mavic open pro, miche primato hub, Got a bog standard front brake caliper as needed long reach as it was running 27"s before. Paint is good with good detailing, normal chips for age but i dont want it looking new hence no respray. Needs a good clean now though
