Macklam of Leeds - looking for some information

[frankscycle]

Some days ago I got my Macklam of Leeds frame. The frame is fitted with Zeus 2000 dropouts and fork crown. I'll build up the frame with Zeus components.
I love the color of the frame
I'm interested in any Informations about Macklam of Leeds and the Macklam brothers?

the Frame is made by Reynolds 531 professional.


Frame has some scratches. Yesterday I was in a cosmetics department to buy the right nail varnish

Very nice frame set. I particularly like the fork crown.

That is a very swish fork crown. The Zeus 2000 was used in some very nice frames.

Found this from a long time ago

Thank you very much for the link.

I looked some more but can't find out much more than Bernard Macklam worked at MKM Cycles in Harrogate for a bit and he might be in this pic of MKM staff

Thanjs, I‘ve seen it too. In the text they wrote:
Bernard Macklam having joined because of his skills in building rear triangles
So,perhaps the boy with the welder's goggles is Bernard Macklam

The vagueness of my memory suggests that the Macklam shop was on Crossgates Road near the junction with Hawkhill Avenue. No matter how hard I think about it I get nothing else - just memories of the outside of Bob Jackson's place on Harehills Lane and Woodrup's in Kirkstall.

In my first post the first two photos are no longer visible. Is that the case for you too?
