I think there was an old Ephgrave track frame at the HH bike jumble the other week... pj (pj) would probably remember, I was on pain-killers so it's all a bit of a blur now...

i have a gillott track/path bike, its from 1967, how much were you looking to buy it for?

there was an ephgrave, a bates, and 4 (four) gillots, three of which were track/path. there was other stuff too.

See? Told you PJ was paying attention!
If you wanna chase the Herne Hill jumblers up I could pm you Wally's email addy, he organises all the soutshide jumble bizzle... He might know...

Thanks Teenslain, It would be great if you could get me the contact details of the guy selling the Gillot/Ephgrave frames. A.J.Searle@bristol.ac.uk

ps - aidy - i tried very hard to clear up the confusion over the stokes path frame. the guy seemed mega happy anyway in the end.

the ephgrave was a road frame, as was the hobbs.

Hi Pj, do you know who was selling the Gillot frames at the Jumble - any more info appreciated? I am seriously looking for a Gillot road/path /track frameset.
No worries about the Stokes frame - if he was happy thats fine!
Is it you who is moving to Bristol? We are getting our own club together - if interested: www.fixedbristol.org.uk

yes i am, 1st august. living in redfields/st george's, sounds great, i'll email when i get there. i'll be looking to do a lot of miles in august.

unfortunately i don't know who was selling them/the names of vendors, but joe (teenslain) sounds like he might know a man who does. the guy with one of the gillots also had a wally green, it was very nice. the other guy who had one is a chap who was at the last jumble, bank holiday, he had a black and silver holdsworth too. i speculated that it might have been graham in london, but i might be wrong.

PJ (as usual) is right, I think it was Graham in London... He's the road/path mad daddy at HH... Overpriced tho' IMHO... Good luck with the hunt Aidy... :)

Ok, does anyone have contact details for 'Graham in London' please?

Too slow bee-atch... ;p

thanks gramps :p

S'alright son...

how's the 'shaggers back' going?

Slowly getting better, just have to address the pain-killer addiction now... Codeine + white wine = Awesome! ;S

I have a gillot that was languishing in a neighbours shed for the last 40 or so years, it was owned by a local chap who used it in anger/competition as a member of the British team racing against Poland, where he was presented with a brand new FH. Scott? which he also gave me. He held no end of local records including the 25 and 50 mile time trials - he's in his 80's now but I have a big pile of old photo's which I will be scanning in which show him in his prime competing on his cycles. I would very much like to know a bit more about this bike if anyone has any info..? Photo's here

The Gillot is fantastic!

Try the vintage lot, I think they're called VCC, and the forum called RetroBike, and the site called Classic Lightweights ... there'll be, somewhere, a Marque Enthusiast will help you find out about your Gillot and Scott. The photos from competitions will be of interest to all those bodies. And us.

Thanks Scully :)

You're welcome, Hoglate.

That's a fine bike - looks like original paintwork too.
Lucky you.
Mark Stevens is the marque expert.
He posts on here sometimes but his username escapes me.
I've got another contact for him - will message it to you.

Many thanks nankatsu, I have been chatting with Mark this afternoon via email, I dont think anything with a Gillott transfer moves on this planet without appearing on his radar. His knowledge has absolutely blown me away!!! He should get a grant and open a museum. Thanks again for the 'heads up'.
