Anyone familiar with M K M bicycles?
Can anyone tell me the quality of these bikes. I know through limited searches the company formed by 3 british persons. I like to know the quality of the frame, built, components. I think it is Campy group. Are old campy replacements parts hard to find? What alternatives available?
much thanks!
much thanks!

Equal to a Bob Jackson of the period in my book, with less interesting paint.

The 1970s MKM built by Steve Elsworth and Wes Mason were top notch frames. I certainly enjoyed mine. The workmanship on the actual frame was excellent, though the paint was only average and the decals uninspired. The 1980s versions are far less desirable. I wouldn't worry too much about the build as many, if not most, were sold as bare frames.
