They have a nice shape to them. Any pics?
I checked the crack in my frame today and its not looking good. Now it also appears at the bottom of the lug. Winston mentioned he probably wouldn't be able to get the same lug which I think is Oscars egg?
Whilst it gets repairs is there anything else I could consider? I'm thinking some bottle bosses at least.
Anyone made frame modifications to their Gillott? What did you do?

Alterations will depend on what kit you intend to use.
gear lever boss: are you going to use Campag? If so you will need a Campag lever boss, not Simplex or Benelux.
Rear fork end spacing : is it right for whatever wheel you want to fit?
I'd certainly add bottle cage bosses and cable guides
I would remove pump pegs, lamp bracket boss and any other brazings I didn't want. Of course these are personal choices - some people are keen to keep things as original as possible and I'm not going to say they're wrong.
Finally, make sure your builder checks the tracking.

I use Stratalite "South of France of France" bars on my fixed commuter which i love.
Even when riding fast on the shallow drops i can still see where im going.
They are also completely wrapped in cotton tape and 2 layers of shellac, so are comfortable and waterproof in any position.
also because of the flowing aerodynamic shape they make me cycle faster.!
