Mercian King of Mercia

I aquired this a few weeks ago through the forum (thanks Ken) I appreciate a lot of time and effort was put into the original build, but I couldn't get on with the original Shimano 600 Arabesque dérailleurs and shifters, I like retro steel bikes but I'm also a fan of function over form, so the groupset was changed for later 6200 index groupset and went 12 speed.

Really nice what's the brakeset?

AFAIK, Dia Compe 204 levers and Weinmann 500 calipers with aftermarket pads, the original pads had the friction coefficient of Teflon, I'm happy to be corrected if not.
