K318 is the frame number on the macleans featherweight. If i had to guess a date i would say late 40s. 57cm C-T seat tube, 58cm C-C top tube. In need of a re spray. Structurally it looks ok, with no obvious dents or bents. The chrome on the forks has surface rust and needs to be re chromed. $90 plus shopping at cost. photos are available.

i also have a hetchins track (Road path) frame that i would like help to identify. I am missing the forks and i cannot find a frame number. What makes me think it is a hetchins? it has "hetchins" cast on the underside of the Bb shell. photos available for those who would like to look and guess.
