Wanted: Hobbs or Bates or Gillot or carlton or anything luggy from 50's onwards

Hello

As the title says. Except the Gillot. I'm looking for a Gillott.

After a 53 or 54 C-to-C (so maybe a 54-55 CTT ?)

Not bothered about paintwork.

Postage to UK

Send me a PM

Thanks a lot.

Don't know if you're still looking, but I'm about to put my restored Carlton Corsa up for sale on LFGSS - I posted it last year, here (http://www.lfgss.com/post2372108-49949.html)

.

I have a 1952 Hobbs of Barbican bike if you are still interested

There is a gillot on gumtree located in Bournemouth
Frame &forks are ok but the rest of the bike is shite

It is. And I find it always helps sales to spell the maker's name correctly.

Was directed at the seller's ad....not you.
It's easy to forget T on Friday.

Ha ha , no worries , seller is a bike shop . I've seen the frame & forks & it is a Gillott 531
Rest of the bike is not up to much tho

Couldn't view the Gumtree pics properly - assumed it had cheap 30 quid ebay 27" wheels, etc.
£275 puts it in a bit of a void, IMO.
"Gillott. The best a man can get"?

Yes you got it , built with crap parts , centre pull callipers looked ok , the brooks looked as if it had been in a shed for 10 years , lovely lugs on the frame tho & nice metal head badge

If it's an older (so called) 'original' Gillot then they can command fairly decent prices. I had a smart one a few years back to try the missus out on a road bike which didn't work out.
I listed it on ebay as a full bike then had abuse from a punter because I was sullying the Gillot name because it wasn't 50+ years old, not built by 'Ron' & wasn't a 'proper' one...lol

The one on Gumtree looks well worth a punt at that price..

Buying more bikes! You just sold me one lol.

Nah, strictly offloading my stable now(probably), I sold the gillot years ago, I got her a globe pro same as mine.
