Expensive, possibly optimistic, but lovely.

Personally, I would love to justify a build like the Mercian and like this above @oldave

Kind of feel if you are going to have one in the stable, then go for it and do it proper. A real vintage machine. Something with character just ooozing what it was meant for. I'm incapable to say what price I would pay for a beauty like those - I kind of hold out thinking I will find something locally at the tip or charity shop and just deal with it. Knowing my luck it would be green again instead of these gorgeous reds. 🤦‍♂️

On the MTB I'm a bit more clued up, I've jumped don't regret it, but the blessed thing is in the loft now for 7 years in hibernation :rolleyes:
