Frame & Construction

  • Finished in a deep metallic blue with excellent depth and shine.
  • Beautiful mid-century Hetchins lugwork, crisp and finely detailed.
  • Frame stamping “CHELTEN-LESA 1503 T”, consistent with early refinishing or builder marking.
  • Classic narrow seat stays and curved fork crown, typical of early–mid Hetchins road/track frames.
  • Period World Championship band decals (rainbow stripes) add authentic mid-century character.

Components

A highly attractive collection of vintage British and Italian parts:

  • Cinelli steel track stem (early engraved model)
  • Mafac Racer front brake — correct for vintage fixed-wheel road setups
  • Campagnolo-style steel cranks
  • Vintage track chainring
  • Binda Alfredo toe straps
  • Atom / Normandy drilled track hubs — lightweight, collectible originals
  • Brooks leather saddle (B17/Professional style)
  • Fixed sprocket with wing-nut axles — classic 1950s–60s club equipment
  • Alloy rims (likely Mavic or Fiamme era correct)

Overall Condition

  • Very clean frame and paint, impressive for its age.
  • Components display honest, age-appropriate patina.
  • Complete, coherent build that remains true to period specification.
  • Rideable with a basic service, as expected for a vintage fixed-wheel machine.
  • A true-to-era Hetchins club bike with fantastic authenticity — the photographs tell the story.
