I had a Mclean. Bought bit brand new from a bike shop in Norfolk Va. when I moved to Virginia Beach with my parents from Pittsburgh in 1979.
I took it with me when I went back to Pittsburgh for college and it was stolen out of my car.
It was a very nice frame. None better in my opinion. He learned frame building in England old school style. Truly handbilt with no fancy jigs.
If anybody comes across a 54cm maroon one....
