EVERY hillman has a bottom bracket serial number, usually quite large.
decals can be bought from hillman for $30 per set. gets you 1x headtube sticker, 2x downtube and 2x seat tube.
but…
they won’t sell you a set unless they know it’s definitely a hillman.

yeah, i got a set of decals for ben\_is\_fixed a few months back. when i gave them the serial number, the guy wandered over to a filing cabinet, pulled out one of those old school book style note books and found all the details…written in pencil!!

once you find out if it is a Hillman, we might have to change this thread to “post a pic of your Hillman” !

hey mate. That frame looks similair to a recent track frame that I purchased… Mine has “champion” stamped on the bb shell and a few numbers covered by paint… Your lugs look similair to this abeni built frame.
[VINTAGE ABENI CAMPAGNOLO STAMPED REYNOLDS 531 FRAME | eBay](http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VINTAGE-ABENI-CAMPAGNOLO-STAMPED-REYNOLDS-531-FRAME-/160586622402#ht_8655wt_1139)
I am probably completely wrong but oh well.

No matter what it is, it looks sweet. Build it up and ride it. You won’t go quicker if it’s a Colnago or a Hillman or a… McBain.
