Went to pick up the Gillott frame from Varhona today. As the frame has already been modified in the past I decided to get two newer style dropouts fitted which will hopefully be stronger- they are later Campag style ones as opposed to period correct gran sport dropouts. The original 'Stallard' dropouts are not available anymore I obviously, and the chances of finding some on eBay seemed slim so this seemed the best option to get a good match and a strong rear triangle.
Just need to straighten out the Gran Sport rear mech now, which also took a hammering in the 'incident'.
I thought I seen that frame before somewhere - was there last w/end dropping off three frames ...Mario had few on display, some proper belters that he's planning to sell.
