Looking for some AS Gillot Pantographed cranks

For a friends restorations

I guess these are rarer than hen's teeth

Any Gillot fans know where I might find some other than the ubiquitious ebay UK

i'd bet the chances of getting an AS Gillot crankset are substantially higher than the chances of finding a measured, non-racist south african.

i don't doubt it, but must be rare. i know holdsworth had there own pedals for example in a short period in the late 40's early 50's, near impossible to find.

i think it was a reference to AA Gill, how his name is like AS Gillott. that's my guess anyway.

You're probably right - wasn't very funny though I'm afraid - Charlie Gillett would have been better...
Or AS Byatt...
