My father in law dropped around his Gillott he got new from Edwardes, Camberwell in 1973. He rode it for decades as his daily, but it's been out of action for a few years.
I'm not under the illusion it's rare or special. It needs quite a bit of work and I'm wondering how much time and effort its worth. Any ideas?
If I've read up correctly, by the 70s the frames were hand-built but by a range of different local builders.
It is a tiny bit sentimental and I live near Southampton Way (the old shop) so for that reason I wouldn't mind getting it rolling.
