Sorry, didn't manage to find any more info on the bike I'm afraid.
I think it may have a North west connection.
I bought my Midas (used) from a bike shop in southport (not leisure lakes) around 92/93, Unfortunately I didn't ask any questions regarding who the builder was. :facepalm:
The only snippet of info I was given, was a couple of years later. I was repairing a puncture on the summit of parbold hill when another Midas rolled up behind me. The guy believed they originated from leyland (lancs), under the name of Mike Dickson or Dickinson, but years later when I attempted to research those names, no results came up.
