It’s on www.the-saleroom.co.uk Warrington Auctions, it is the home and garden sale which starts on Wednesday at 9 00am. There are a few bikes on there but the interesting ones are the two MKMs.

If you search "bicycle " the MKMs should show up along with a couple of nice Pennines.

That's amazing but very much of its time and probably of very niche interest these days, with esoteric kit. It's a shame he didn't keep building into the era of threadless forks and advanced chromoly tubesets. I think he stopped just as things changed, and his stuff looks old now.

Eastbourne Auctions seem to have decided that this is German on account of the "Made in West Germany" (Esge?) mudguards.
The fork shape and right hand side lamp bracket suggests a UK frame maker to me. Any ideas? Bates Diadrant maybe?
