• I built up the frame with odds and ends to make sure threads were good and to ensure specs were right.
    27.2mm seat tube fitted as per all Gillott's.
    BB threads all good. I have had a BSA double tapered set of cranks ready for this for years.
    Dropout spacing correct for a set of Chater lea hubs, when I finally finish building them up. I'm waiting for the correct size spokes as I bought the wrong length the first time round.
    Steerer seemed very long, however it fitted fine and low behold when I cleaned up the threads on the steerer.!
