This bike has been well ridden but carefully maintained. There are some cosmetic scrapes to the frame, but all mechanicals are sound. Brand new brake pads, rotors and chain tensioning bolts.

Was originally after £600, but will take £500 collected, location is St Albans. Can discuss meet-up/shipping.

JE James selling the 08 frameset for £349 now if anyone interested. Plenty of small & medium left, though I just bought the last large :-)

Ah, sorry all, I had a message from someone on Wednesday who came, saw, rode and bought last night.

OK - as I said above, the old Brooks seat was way past saving, and I had to bin the mudguards too as they were cracked. Think I still have all the rest in various states of oily-mess-ness.

Happy to try to clean up and reassemble as per the original pics if need be.

No, 27" Wolber rims, with new Schwalbe Marathon tyres.

To expand - I shelled out more on the bars, ring, sprocket, etc, and if I sell it complete i'll need to rebuy those, plus a seat, so say £100 F&F, £150 complete.

Hoping to break even on it, which puts it into 3 figures (just). Am flexible on F+F only, or bits and bobs too.

Couple of updated pics of it in it's current singlespeed Path Racer build.

Selling a vintage 1950 spear lugged Gillott frame built from 531 taper-tube. Comes with their classic RJB fork, both with stunning hand carved lugs. The frame is completely without any braze-ons, and has angled forward-facing drop-outs. Spacing is originally 120mm, but at some point it was spread spread slightly to take an old 6-speed hub. Advice from the Gillott marque expert from the Vintage Cycle Club is that it will 'easily go back'!

I love it to pieces, currently running it as a singlespeed path racer with some north road bars, and it rides beatifuly, but it's just too big for me. It's tall at 67cm C-T, but the top tube isn't ridiculously long at 61cm C-C, so it'd probably suit someone 6'2" to 6'4". I'm a mere 5'11"...

It could do with some TLC, ideally a respray, and there are a couple of rust spots on the underside of the top tube. Also a dimple in the right seatstay where a lamp was once mounted, but that would easily be filled and smoothed if you wanted to. Not deep enough to be structurally damaging. The fork could also do with realigning, as the front wheel sits slightly to the left.

It had a respray in the '80's, and if you want you can have the kit that was fitted to it then - mostly 105, with Wolber rims, Cinelli bar & stem and an aero Campag seatpost. I had to bin the Brooks saddle as it was properly rotten and rusted. Got some new Schwalbe Marathon tyres on there now too.

Pics here show it as I bought it a while back:

Location is St Albans. Will consider all sensible offers.

Gotta love the colour on the Geekhouse

Have had my eye on those. Anyone know what the tubing is on the Oversize frame? Just not 100% sure what 200CHF more buys you.

If You're still looking I have a 1950 spear-lugged Gillott made from 531 taper-tube. It's v. tall at 66cm, but top tube is 61, so wouldn't be to far off. I'm 5'11" and it's a bit of a stretch for me, but I do ride it.

Does look very nice indeed. I've always had a soft spot for the green ones, but it looks fantastic without the decals.

Blimey, those things are like hens teeth - super light. I was searching for a pair for a long time for a track bike build up, but any that appear as NOS go like hot cakes.

Ben's cycle in Milwaukee, US had some recently, badged as wheelsmith Accelerators, but the sensible sizes and drillings sold in an instant.

Enjoy riding them.
