They were super nice pedals though I had them on my watch list also.
-
I don't think it's a bad price for a repeated gillott.
I'd like to see a frame number first though. -
I use Stratalite "South of France of France" bars on my fixed commuter which i love.
Even when riding fast on the shallow drops i can still see where im going.
They are also completely wrapped in cotton tape and 2 layers of shellac, so are comfortable and waterproof in any position.
also because of the flowing aerodynamic shape they make me cycle faster.! -
In other news this sold on eBay this afternoon, for £185..!
I know they do normally sell for a good price but I thought this was very high

Collection only from Cumbria. Beautiful part of the country though and smashing looking bike.

Only if it was built in 1951 or earlier.?
With Nervex lugs it's unlikely. -
I would say that frame No. Has something to do with the Nervex Pro BB lug as the build sequence No. doesn't match other Gillots.?
So 59 would be the year and 3064 would be the number of frames made since they started in 1945. However by 1958 they had already surpassed 4000 frames.
The frame number should be on the BB
Your so patient, I probably would have destroyed the frame by now...
trying to get the seat post out.!
It looks like your patience is going to pay off though. Keep us posted.
