I have a 1964--according to Mark Stevens, British Gillot owner and CR member--Gillot touring bike. As I am preparing to head to the North Country of Minnesota to celebrate my mother's ninetieth birthday (never rode a bike in her life and doesn't plan on starting now, she says), I decided that I would bring the Gillot along and have Chris Kvale paint it.

I checked Lloyds for decals. I cannot determine which decals would be appropriate for the particular bike that I have. Does anyone know which set would be appropriate? I noticed on two of the Gillots posted on the CR site, that they have what appears to be two badges, one on the headtube (I have that one) and the other in the middle of seattube (a la Giradengo's). Does anyone know if the one on the seattube is a decal or is it an actual badge? And one more question: recently, either on this list, someone posted a link to a blue and orange Gillot that had a color scheme very much like the Holdsworth Pros. Does anyone still have that link?

Thank you very much.

Cheers.
