The British bike thread

my Mercian King of Mercian.
Was in shop for 20+ years then friends basement for another 10. This is it’s first build.
Cold worked the stays from 120mm to 130mm (party foul?).
SunTour, Nitto, Royal Gran Compe, Honjo, Campagnolo headset & Ti seat post, 650b wheels, French cranks - a lovable all day mutt that I put quite a few miles on.

I did own an English made 1954 Ford Prefect.
Let’s say not all things from the UK we’re not as graceful as bicycles.
