  • Possibly not the best place for this but I thought I'd see if anyone was interested before it goes to the bay.....

    Been building this up for a while with a mixture of parts bin and specially bought parts. Would love to keep it but just can't justify it and a little too big really. Also no room, have too many projects and MRs Jeff would probably divorce me.

    I think this is a Macleans Club Model no. 1 with 'upright head', as per

    http://veterancycleclublibrary.org.uk/ncl/pics/Macleans%20catalogue%20c1939%20(V-CC%20Library).pdf

    Has some really nice parts, and is in what looks to be original paint.

    Rare Macleans frame Club model no. 1 Upright Head tube. 22.1/2 inches I think c-t-c seat tube. (will check) in Original Paint.. Pre War (H if I remember correctly0) frame number.
    see: http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/macleans.html

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

    Lovely Webb Pedals

    Durax fluted cransket with continental chain ring- really nice very delicate looking steel cranks.
    Nice original head clip with matching stem. Much patina...

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

    Reynolds? comfort flat moustache type handlebars with early GB Hiduminium lever. (with anon-original wedge fitting pouched from a weinmann lever- this works fine but will try find the original if I can.)

    The current brake is slightly later GB Coureur Plus model that works but isn't ideal. However, I have a CLB you can have if you prefer and if I can find them some very very rare GB Hiduminium flat bar touring levers that may fit better.

    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.

    As I said, I'd love to keep but just can't, so be nice if someone off here fancies it as easy project yto finish off.

    Bike is in Deptford. Pick up there or just maybe I might post ....(if I have to)

    £380 for you lovely people on here.
