I think it would have been custom built HB, most Gillotts were, unless that is a shop had it in stock. Although it is a welded/brazed frame Gillott pushed them quite hard in adverts and brochures. Several of the top builders had a 'welded' option but time-triallists of the day were very into fancy lugs. I sometimes think it would be interesting to collect just these welded frames as they are quite rare. Not original paint but a copy of it.
I have a rare early welded Mercian (1949) as well.
I think we spoke at L'Eroica?
