Finally had a dry, sunny day when I felt like riding my latest 'fixie' out on the road.
Most of you will recognise this as being way shinier than most of my other bikes.
It's a 1955 'Maclean' Track model frameset, built up with NOS and some newer components.....

...the frameset was discovered in an old shed at our local velodrome and beautifully restored by a good friend.
Just a 10 mile shakedown ride, it rolls so sweetly.
Super light, super shiny, roll on more sunny days!
Gorgeous 👌🏻
 
It certainly is, plus NOS Brooks saddle, Williams cranks, inch pitch chainring, Milremo rims, Campagnolo track hubs, an unknown French stem, period track bars and chain.
Non NOS parts are the GB brake lever and Weinman brake caliper.
The pedals and wire toe cages are new, from MKS Japan.
She's a beaut!
She sure is. My first road bike was a 531 Raleigh and it rode beautifully. As much as I love road bikes, I’m on comfy cruisers these days due to the arthritis in my neck.

My first road bike was a 531 Raleigh too, back in 1982.
Very sweet frames to ride.
I can't do too many miles on this type of bike either, but it's fun while it lasts!
Keep on riding!
