But pending a couple of questions...

lovely, original paint? Would you say this was an off the peg model?
thanks, benI 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?

Hi there,

I would have snapped this beautiful frame up but can't collect.
Lovely.
