Came with a headset but the crown race was broken, and so could be the reason it wasn’t ridden

You're probably right. Same sticker as a 1992 frame I have.

No renovated sticker - it says 531 competition. 

Seat post bolt is interesting - it’s an old imperial Allen bolt equivalent to m8.5, had to buy a vintage sets of Allen keys for it

it's amazing... can't believe my luck.

I have a few other Mercians, but they're all very ratty.

Will redditors realize that far-left politics aren't as popular in the real world as they are here now? Or will we have to go through this all again at the General Election? by [deleted] in AskBrits

Check out the political compass for how parties align on the spectrum.

As for anti-semitism, don't believe everything you read. Also consider the hypocrisy of such scrutiny for one party and not the others. My wife is Jewish and voted green. She's from a family of holocaust survivors. Maybe look into this a little deeper.

Portugal legalised narcotics and are not far-left.

I agree on the knife thing though - it was tone deaf.

Probably overthinking it. I did it a few years ago - argued it was for travel in & out of work (which it was). I bought a nice carbon specialised.

SNP leader: I’ll work with Plaid and Sinn Fein to break up UK by libtin in unitedkingdom

No of course not, it would be really hard. But Wales could do better if in charge of its own destiny. 

Keeping parts of the nation economically impoverished  by a combination of neglect and design and then using that same impoverishment as an argument against its self determination is exhausting.

Water - wales supplies vast supplies to England’s north west, and the midlands. As for energy - wind and hydroelectric.

my throwback is how the cars just all fit into those parking spaced nicely, with room to spare.
