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 :)

Wow yes I agree that does look like a Superlight, lugs are spot on, Mercian hand cut these lugs so would be very small chance it is not. even has the small curl on the rear chainstay near the bottom bracket, this is pure Mercian. Bargain even if it was for the parts :)
