My first bike in 1953 in England was a nondescript upright single speed with rod-operated brakes, my second, a brand-new Raleigh Trent Tourist with 3-speed Sturmey Archer hub gear to which I added a three speed derailleur to give me nine speeds. In 1957, I sold my electric trainset and had a Maclean Featherweight frame built to my specs at Maclean in London. The steel frame and fork weighed only 4.25 lb. I built up a fixie, then later added Campag Nuovo gears and Stronglight triple chainset.. In around 1960 I was car doored and the bike was damaged. By this time, Maclean had gone out of business, so I had it repaired and painted red with hand-painted decals. Many years later, in the USA I had it painted as it is today with upgraded wheels, gears etc, plus I found a source of original Maclean decals. It's still my most comfortable ride.
