Bill Kloos is the newest member of the M.O.G.s, the McLean Owner's Group, an organization that doesn't actually exist, but should. Maybe it should be S.H.M.O.G., the Silk Hope - McLean Owners Group. Okay, we'll let the Silk Hope guys drink too, even though they are a little uppity about having Silk Hopes rather than McLeans. I have noticed that they have no compunction about putting McLean transfers on their downtubes though.
This frame was in tough shape when Bill bought it on Ebay. With a little guidance from Dale Brown he selected the color and had it refinished by Franklin Frames. Nice job. The frame is similar to mine, except the seat stay ends have a different treatment and lugs are investment castings, rather than stamped steel. Most old bicycle experts could tell us what brand these are, but I can't. Maybe Cinelli.
