Alright list.

I'm on the hunt for a circa 1960's-1970's (give or take) Mercian road frame. Any model* will suit as long as it has fender eyelets and this will be setup as a 1x5 or 6 with TA cranks with cyclocross chainguards. I'll be using this as an upright commuter with Phillipe Ville bars and inverse Mafac levers.

I'd like a frame, but I'm open to a complete. Aesthetic condition is not an issue, as long as it's structurally sound. Looking for for something around 55cm center to center.

I can buy outright or a have a 1950's FH Grubb that is a rider (not a show bike), that I can offer in trade. It includes a NOS headset, seat pillar, BB with spindle for single setup and 1x3 or 1x5 setup. Plus a few other bits.

*Sans the "Miss Mercian"- as I'm sure someone will point that out under "any" model :)
