This is a real, classic, a 1949 AS Gillott track/time-trial frame, number 491394
It has beautiful spear point lugwork and a very fine rear triangle, rear facing fork ends and slender, beautifully curved front forks. There are no braze-ons at all. Nothing is seized and the threads are good.
It has been re-sprayed in Subaru Impreza blue. The paintwork is in very good condition except for a couple of scrubs on the rear forks where I fitted Raceblades for the winter.
Please note the front axle width is 95mm and the rear 110mm, normal for that era. You will have to remove some spacers from modern hubs to get them to fit.
The frame was built for 27in wheels
Specification:-
Frame - Top tube centre to centre - 58cm
Headset - Stronglight alloy with needle rollers
Bottom bracket - Shimano square taper
Extension - 4in Cinnelli style
Could deliver to St Pancras International
£250 ono
