Another one bites the dust.

Mercian Cycles, which was founded in 1946, custom built all its frames.

The name will be acquired I suppose.

Hopefully that’ll not happen, knowing the people involved. It’d be a travesty if it does.

I need to get hold of Grant as he has a frame I took back to the unit for a retailer which they painted with issues so needed redoing

I suspect you now have to contact the liquidator who will ring fence creditors property for distribution to source

Saw Grant t'other week and got frame frame back for my dealer. He's headed up to Scotland and retire. Says he's got a interested party but will have to see what happens.
