Hi Greg, the 1960 frame I am currently putting together is typical of the
period. It has the script A.S.Gillott logo on the downtube, the roundel on
the seat and the small Gillott script decal on the forks, about 1'' below
the crown. Nervex Pro lugs, wrapover topeye, chrome ends. It has no Reynolds
531 or Bonderised decals and never has had. It is in it's original paint. It
has the pressed aluminum headbadge. Nor has it any pump pegs but has all
the usual gear and cable stop brazeons. Ron would have built this too and it
has his signature gear control stop. Basically a short lenght of 1/8'' rod
brazed in under the down tube. Its hidden inside the clamp so is not easily
seen when the frame is complete. I took it for a test ride this evening
after final tweakings. It needed a few more adjustments, mainly to the
mechs. I have fitted and used Campagnolo barcons for the first time in my
life and was horrified at how stiff the rear mech was. The Gran Sport is
badly worn so the short lever and its small drum have a hard time of it. But
when on the move it changed more easily. I was expecting to find myself on
the other side of the road with the amount of leverage required.
I digress. I would appreciate the frame number of your frame for my
records. If you need any more help. get in touch. Mark Stevens Evanton,
