Wow, a Cyclemaster, - they are amazing!

That Mercury looks to be a very lady-like machine; - and it had a tiny four stroke engine too which was unusual for the time.

The New Hudsons certainly were a lot more posh looking than the Bown, but think I still prefer the Bown because it has more of an intrepid quality about it.

The Mercury was related to that icon of style and performance, the Dunkley Whippet.
