I have three A.S. Gillott's all with Spearpoint lugs, none of them have original paint work, 2 Track/Path and one road with 27.1/4 wheels all built up and specked with period components as much as possible and all ready to ride.
However this is not enough, i need an A.S. Gillott Fleur De Lis in my life. This elusive Gillott will have tight clearances and a shortish wheel base, 23" seat tube, original paint work and ideally pre 1950.
Thats a big ask but my latest frame purchase fits most of the above criteria.
Its a Fleur De Lis 22" with paint work from the 1970's.
It arrived yesterday and the first impressions on opening the packaging were good, you got that whiff off "old garage, oily mechanical smell"]. I love that.!
