the crown looks like an Ekla Plain D with filed in double side slots to give it a decorative twin plate look....are the lugs Ekla as that would help add weight to the identity?
Yes they are ( No they're not :roll: ). I (don't) have a good idea what the frame is, I'm in two minds wether to splash the dosh on it. (I did splash out)
I reckon it's a decent frame, but I was unsure wether the forks were the original ones.
Ok, I believe it's a Macleans. Possibly an Ultra Track that has been drilled for brakes, although the W prefix dates it as pre WW2, but all the other stuff inc. oversized Chater Lea BB, Stronglight headset and reinforced head point to a 1960's Ultra.
I've only just finished the auction, so no unfortunately not, I came across it late in the day and the seller hasn't had time to answer any questions.
Hopefully everything checks out, but I'm a bit (a little) worried that they won't match up. As usual I won't get to see it for a couple of weeks, so we'll have to wait and see.
