What I know: MKM was a partnership between two Britishers, Arthur Metcalfe and Wes Mason. They were sold in the US in the early 1970's, mostly used long-point Prugnat lugs, were made in a variety of geometries. I worked at a Los Angeles store that sold a few of them, we had criterium road, long-wheelbase road, and track frames from about 1973 to 1975 David Feldman
