Sweet bike. I have a 1971 Mercian touring frameset I am currently building up with full Campagnolo record, sans the brakeset which will be Universal Super 68. It does not have original paint, but I am thinking about getting Mercian to do a respray.
Congrats on your new bike!

Mercians

Thanks!
This is only my second Mercian so I'm no expert on them.
Beautiful machines though.
Mercian does do a fantastic paint job, but I'm currently thinking of having my Dawes Galaxy and 1948 Holdsworth La Quelda painted at Argos in Bristol. (Simply because it is closer to me!)
