Bought a Maclean's Featherweight the other day.
Frame No K333 which looks like it will be post war around 1946.

Re:

Frame number K333 on drive side seat tube and rear of fork crown.
The front fork is not drilled for a brake, So I'm thinking that Resilion brakes would have been fitted.

Re:

Hi, nice catch, date looks spot on, those rear stay brazons may be for a custom rack, the ends of which slot in, that would leave the mudguard eye for, strangely enough the mudguards, will we see it built up this winter ? Thanks Terry

Thanks Terry, Hopefully built up over Winter. It will be a oily rag build with no restoration.

Re:

No markings or numbers on steerer, I've read that some Maclean's had tubing information on them.

Seat tube is 27.2mm.
