see: http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/mac­leans.html

.Really very rare and pricey Constrictor Conloy 26 1 1/4" inch wheels on Blumfield double fixed hubs. With nice old fashioned tyres too. (will take 700c/sprints if desired)

.Nice original head clip with matching stem. Lovely patina.

.Mansfield Saddle, pretty good condition. Is pierced so could be laced for a narrower saddle

.Reynolds? comfort flat moustache type handlebars with early steel brake. (different to that shown but nice early calliper brake. -can provide image if required or keep the pictured one and I=ll throw in some rare GB Hinduminium flat bar levers to go with it)(

Make a really really lovely classic vintage bike, very hard to find in original condition. Don't want to sell it but too large for me and nowhere to store it. Shame but better someone gets to ride it. A rare chance to get a true classic lightweight bicycle with top notch parts that sit well together,

The bottom bracket axle could maybe be changed for shorter one for better chain line and needs chain but other than that a really very rare and pretty much all period correct (should that bother you) Classic Lightweight in original paint.

I'd love to keep but just can't, easy project to finish off.

Currently in south London, you can pick it up if you like or can post if your happy to pay costs

You sure it's No. 1? In the catalog the forks look straight, whilst here it has Russ pattern forks.

Very lovely machine, was tempted last time, still tempting now, but as you, no space, too many projects, bla bla bla :(

pretty sure-see the second image of the club model- (club model continued on page 5) think it's that one.) with the 'upright head'.

AS much as I want you to but this, I can see that you do indeed have far too many projects at the moment- a frame a month?!
