Winter Project Finished

Actually one of three Winter Projects. The next will be done in two weeks and the last will probably be a Spring finish.

1950 MacLean

I bought this nearly two years ago and it had been thrown together from a frame for display and eventual sale. It had no correct parts on it at all.
This will be in a 20 mile per day rotation come Spring so it needs to be comfortably ridable for me and period correct as possible. All my pre 60s bikes are mostly period correct sans consumables.
It ain't easy, or cheap.
- Full 531DB 24.5" Frame & Fork
- Constrictor Asp 597 rims, BH Racelite Hubs
- Cyclo Mk7 4 speed Drive line
- GB Courier Calipers & Levers
- Lamps are battery LED converted

As it sits it only weighs 28lbs. Without any accessories it's a svelt 24lbs. Sweet and nearly rides itself.
