Take a careful look at the lugs lines on the McLean. Each lug is filed perfectly perpendicular to the tube and there is only the smallest radius of silver at the tube. Does anyone know of another builder with this aesthetic and technique? This is very different from overfiled and thinned lugs or elaborate shaping (or casting). Those are Cinelli lugs. McLean was very conservative and figured you couldn't go wrong with Cinelli.
