Another mystery frame.

Nervex head lugs came with a lip around the top and bottom, which is not evident in your photo. Of course it is possible the maker filed the lip off; but it is also possible that your lugs are not actually Nervex. Many makers (Windsor comes to mind) made bikes with imitation Nervex lugs.

These are Nervex.
I have Nervex lugged frames with and without the"lip" you describe. I have heard of Windsor frames but not Windsor lugs.
Roadking.
Interesting. The bottom bracket casting is marked Nervex and what appears to be frame angles?
Sending it off to Mercian to be assessed. We spoke about getting it shot blasted to see what condition it's in under what I think is a hefty coat of cellulose.
Over the phone they didn't dismiss it being a Mercian 'it sounds like one of ours'
If it's okay then it's coming back in a new coat of Enamel Black with enamel Pink seat and down tube bands, and white lettering.
The mish mash of features are still puzzling i.e Nervex, simplex ends, 26.8 seatpost, cantis.
