Cheers.
They are both wearing original paint and both only had minor bits replaced (tyres, grips, cables and chain on the Scimitar, and tyres and saddle on the Mercian). Scimitar was a total wreck when I bought it, having been used as a shopper for most of its life. The Mercian was as minty and original as they get.

What a pair! Those bikes are both gorgeous. Proper time warp condition.
