It’s been slightly on hold - frame is at Argos and has been stripped.
Not quite sure where to go from here. I’m pretty sure the dropouts are original; the shifter bosses are not and are in a slightly funny position - either move them down and aligned or remove and add a pip; top tube either replace or squeeze and fill to get as close to round as possible.
Paint I think single colour with lugs lined, currently thinking Ferrari red 😎 Seems quite common for Gillott’s of the period to be a single colour with contrast head tube. Also thinking about black - boring but always delivers and it was black when it reached me; possibly with off-white panels.

Been loving riding the Gillott, very smooth. Angled the GB maes bars down a bit so the drops are level and they are very comfortable also got a longer post and doesn't feel as squished up. Pothole has put a dent in a rim though so might use this as an excuse for alu rims. How's your 1960 project going @veloham?
