The rear mech is worn out on my Mercian, so I'm replacing the with an early indexed Shimano 105, the rd-1050 from my stash for the summer. Is it compatible with the newer HG50 chain? Might be a daft question, but I'm not sure. Things have moved on since the late 80s, so thought I'd ask here...

I found this today outside a local bike shop, looking filthy and really sorry for itself. It has the 'Reynolds 653 Renovated' transfer, but only on the seat tube and is badged as a Mercian.

Got this last week for 45 quid off ebay. The short story is, my 'proper' riding days were nailed by a passing lorry, smashing my hip into a kerb some years ago. I've been given the go ahead though to ride somewhat regularly again and the leg feels loads better. So, I got this as a budget way to...
