This Gillott belongs to my father, but the rest of the crap goes back to a job change a couple of years ago - I'd been in a mental job with 40mile commute for 5years and riding the same bike every day (a De Rosa - poor me) then I moved to a rather chilled and much better paid job 10miles away and decided it was time to build some fun bikes!
I began with an ebay binge targeting job-lots, poorly listed stuff, anonymous classic frames and damaged/ugly ducklings - Since then I've been trying to rationalise the contents of my shed and got quite good at identifying who made what. I've kept the stuff that fits and rides well, the rest I've identified, tidied and sold on to fund the sort of stuff that crops up on here and you just have to buy!!
