nelsie:

SE MARK:
Its a 1983 but thats all i can tell from that.  Any pics

kdw712:
M - merida made
3 - 1983 as already said
L - December (A = Jan B = Feb etc)
12537 is the build number of that frame not sure if thats year or month - boba can confirm that

meant to add
merida was taiwan manufacturer so that means lower end frames in the mongoose range

nelsie:
