I've just picked up an old Mercian at a car boot sale for a fiver. Not as good as it seems because the frame is in a very bad condition and the wheels are worse. There are no bends or dinks, just lots of rust (surface I hope) and chrome gone on the ends.
It has good components, in reasonable condition though, which is why I bought it: Deore Crane rear mech, Dura Ace shifters and front mech (all black) and Shimano 600 chainset, Weinmann levers and 605 brakes, plus Cinelli stem & bars.
I'm trying to i.d. the model & year and will post pics up once I find my camera.
Can anyone help me identify it with the Frame number which is G4807 plus another number 734 both under the BB. Not quite what I expected from looking at various websites, which say that the year is normally the first two or last two digits.
Thanks
