This would be the Maplewood bike shop. They always had a couple of Mercians in stock, and arguably were the best pro shop in the area. They also have a remarkable collection of water bottles running around the shop (must be easily 100 to 200 bottles. many are old TA bottles.) I can provide a phone number and such if desired.
