Someone (who isn't me) got the score of the year on this one.

I think the new owner would probably like it safely collected before it is identified.

It's probably a blessing disguise for me, I can't really afford another big project.

So what is it?rogerrabbit wrote:Yes, I did win this one, with much appreciated help from two forum members in bringing it to my attention and identifying it. It is my size so it will be a valued addition to my collection once restored.

A question. Where is the bilaminate lugs? I thought bilaminated lugs where a combination of fillet brazing and traditional lug work.

I'll take the cranks when you off load them. Most desirable part on it.......rogerrabbit wrote:Not that it is particularly valuable (like most lovely older bikes) The cost of restoration will likely exceed its final value, but it is a lovely piece of wonderfully made cycling history that should be retained. I also love bringing this sort of bike back to its original glory. Now, to choose a paint scheme.....

Very nice find! I have a 'Spear Point' model track Gillott, they were one of the best London builders/shops until the shop was sold in the 60's.rogerrabbit wrote:An A.S. Gillott. 1952 Fleur De Lis model with Bilaminate lug construction. Fitted with a pulley for a Sturmey Archer geared hub.
Tricky to see details of the pulley in the photo but given its position I would say the pulley is there to 'turn' a gear wire for the rear derailleur, not a Sturmey hub gear. Using pulleys instead of guides for this task was quite common with British builders in the 50's and early 60's, often seen on Claud Butlers and Holdsworths.
Cheers
