I was just about to ebay this one, but the list can have first shout if they wish:

"From the mid 1950s, this rare and unique Gillot Taper tube bicycle. Gillot taper tubes were developed specifically for the taller frame, this one is 61cm centre to top, but with a low bottom bracket, giving a very comfortable ride. It has some unique braze on features, including braze on frame number bosses and a brazed on campagnolo pump umbrella. The frame is in excellent condition. Period correct equipment includes. Stronglight competition chainset, with TA chainrings, Boa pedals, GB toeclips, Campagnolo gran sport deraileurs and shifters, Campagnolo 3 piece small flange hubs, with flat campagnolo skewers (rear is an open C one), Dunlop tyres, Fiamme 27" rims, Mafac dural forge centre pulls, Bluemels mudguards, GB alloy stem and GB tour of Britain bars, Brooks professional saddle and an Apex pump. More photos are available. No reserve, please look at my other cycling only auctions."

The no reserve price is $1100, excluding shipping, as a guide shipping to the US, airmail would be $149.
