among other things, Scandia was a marque employed by Monark-Crescent Bicycles - MCB

MCB models were sometimes transferred as Scandia...perchance a means of packing more product into a given market...

have not previously encountered a chainset bearing the name

More close ups to follow haven't found anything on the chainwheel. It's all a bit barn find at the moment. Claud is certainly a thing of beauty. My initial thoughts were a Durax chainset. The arms are the wrong profile though.
I forgot to say the rims are pre dimple Weinmann. Spokes were chrome plated and double butted. Look to be 15/17 gauge but I haven't measured them, mk one eyeball guess

Constrictor made a platform pedal. Picture to follow. The platform looks almost home made compared to the spindle .
Plenty of odd ball components about .I had a Brooks seat post complete with a build on cradle. I have never seen another.

rims appear to be unferruled so likely wheels of washered construction

are rims marked as issuing from Weinmann facility in Belgium?

appear they are likely to be either model Nr. 256 or model Nr. A-122
