Bike seen whilst out and about.

[GrumpyOldMan]

I'm sure that somewhere on here there is a thread about bikes people have seen when out and about. I can't find it so I'll post this here until I do.
I was in Manchester yesterday and spotted this bike on my way back to the car. It's a very plain looking bike but the headbadge leapt out at me as a Mercian. Very heavily modernised but clearly loved even though it is probably the most unnatractive Mercian in existence!

Where in Manc was that picture taken? It's literally hurting my head not to be able to work it out! Somewhere near Gmex maybe?

Outside Marks and Spencers.

I wasn't mocking the bike by the way. Just that there was a thread somewhere about bikes people had seen when out and about and I thought it was a great idea. This is about the first bike I'd seen worth commenting on so in a rash moment I did!

Aah. Thank you. Spent ages looking for that! Good idea of yours. Hope you didn't think I was trying to steal it.
