@JackT
thanks all. I'll be in touch shortly via PM.
I should also have mentioned that I'd be interested in talking to anyone who'd care to wax lyrical about any post-war Gillott that they might be riding. Ron learned his stuff at Gillott was the last master framebuilder working there when the company was sold and Ron started his own business under his own name.
So goes without saying that Gillott is central to the Ron Cooper story... and that many Gillotts were built by Ron. Ron told me he could recognise any of the 9000 frames he's built in his lifetime in a matter of seconds.
