Is anyone able to help please with the identification of the model name of a 1952 MacLean Lightweight which I purchased recently? Murray MacLean has been able to date the frame for me, but has no catalogues or other information from that period. I know that MacLeans cut their own design of lug, but I think these may be modified Nervex, although there is no Nervex stamped or cast into the bottom bracket. Pics at http://ntlworld.photobox.co.uk/album/1571123 http://ntlworld.photobox.co.uk/album/1571123 , which you can enlarge by clicking on them. It is a very light frame, and I suspect 531 double butted throughout.
