A.S GILLOTT 25" Reynolds 653 frame shimano 105 complete bike

A.S Gillott road bike.

25" 653 Reynolds frame made by Mark Joynt who it turns out is Mark Reilly, for some reason he changed his name but is the same bloke from omega and enigma who has now set up as Reilly cycle works.

It has a complete Shimano 105 groupset fitted from around late 90s era. So hubs, pedals crankset, headset, gears and brakes are all matching 105. Stem and bars are Cinelli. Turbo saddle.

Wheels are Mavic ma40 with stainless spokes and 105 hubs.

All running really nicely and super smooth.

When I bought it it was in a bit of a state, the chrome chain stays we're rusty and when I tried to clean them up the chrome flaked off. So I have them as polished bare metal and have sealed it up with auto sol polish, which has kept any rust at bay. The drop outs are chrome still and the chrome forks are good too. Just for some reason the chain stays didn't last.

The red paint looks dirty up close, it appears to be stains. I think this bike was laid up for years unloved so has cosmetic marks as a result.

Lovely to ride now though!

Tyres are Hutchinsons, they're the old tyres, which are usable and I have been using for a while now. Really could do with replacing though.

£250

Frame is 25" seat tube and 23" top tube. So it's a biggun!

I am in Brighton, won't be dropping in London or posting but can bring to Brighton train station which is 50mins from London Victoria.

I'm a sucker for Gillotts and would definitely have bought this, it's far to big for me though.
Good luck with sale.

No problem, thanks any way. Luckily for me, it fits rather well for a change

I wish I needed / could fit another bike in the flat, really like this!
