The Mercian appreciation society

There are all sorts of strange braze ons.... It has no gear hanger either! I think it was either made for bar end shifters, or more likely, a hub gear of some sort. The original owner was a member of both CTC and VCC, as the stickers on the frame tell, but I don't know who he was, so can't find out any more info. It fits me perfectly though, and is a pleasure to ride. Very, very stable, and can comfortably churn out the miles at a good speed....I often look down at the garmin, to see me doing 20+ mph on flat roads, just turning my legs over :0)
There are some beauties on this thread though.....the green one up the page a bit is my favourite!

I reckon the colour scheme you have is bang on. Have you got Sheriff Star hubs on it as well? That's the final piece of the jigsaw for my Mercian, but I don't have that sort of dough unfortunately.
