Was at Winston Vaz's workshop yesterday. Saw a dark blue Gillot hanging up and realised it was very strange shaped at the seat cluster. Well, it wasn't a proper cluster at all. The top tube and stays met a good two inches behind the seat/top tubes join. He told me it was one of Mario's. Anyone know anything about this shape? If it helps with dating, it had block lettering not script.
I will endeavour to take a photo next time I'm there!
