Gillotts have payed a special roll in my life, early memories of my grandfathers bike passion and older friends who used to race or ride Gillotts has left a lasting impression on me. I have always wanted to own one, but they don't seem to cross my path too often or at the right time.
When this frame came up for sale at the end of last year I was just pipped to the post be another forum member...... It has been a niggling at the back of my head for 10 months. So a few weeks ago I contacted NorthLondonLight, the original seller, just to see who he sold it to. He happy obliged and put me in contacted with Photoman. After a week long chat, he decided to sell it to me. Photoman turned out to be a really nice guy with a great zeal and passion for bikes and bike history. Some gems in his stable.Two amazing forum members who went out of their way to help......Enough of my rambling sentimental gibberish.
I would love to know It's history. Who used to own it(Ken?). Age?
