That's a chunky old pushbike it's in.. I believe it was a frame especially designed for the job although any reasonably meaty frame would accommodate the Cyclemaster....

This Cyclemaster was very well restored by its previous owner.
It’s a rare model, fitted with Webb front forks.
Mercury Cycle Co is an interesting company: they were owned by the British government and established to export bicycles after WW2. They did not supply bicycles direct to the public, but manufactured frames for the Cyclemaster company.
