Some seriously large climbing gears on that rear wheel!

Are you sure this is a Mercian?

Almost certainly not a Mercian or even 531. Interesting mix of bits on it though

Crespera lugs so some sort of Carlton......

Can’t decide if flipping the gear hanger is genius or stupid.

I've asked seller for frame number. That should bottom this out - if they answer.

On reflection, could be a Mercian Campionissimo with the pump pegs cut off? Haden lugs do look like Crespera
