Should I buy this Gillott for £245.00 I am strangely drawn to it, although its a bit of faff to get to SE1

It's SE15 not SE1. That's just round the corner from where I live. I may go and snaffle it just to annoy you! (kidding).

Ah, yes typo. Please buy it, then I won’t be able to.

I’d buy it like a shot if I were in the UK and it were my size. I think it’s seriously underpriced. Iconic brand. Probably hasn’t moved far in it’s life as I think they were made in Camberwell.
As well as the above I have fond memories of my friends Gillott when I was a teen, it was fixie track bike, really used to covert that. Pale blue (same as the seat tube band) with red lettering.
I see there’s a Harry Quinn on there for a grand

Sorry, too small for me. You're still on the hook.

If you have to ask then the answer has to be yes surely.

Looks nice

There’s two thing’s putting me off. Five hour round trip to collect, and when I get there is it right size.

Looks quite nice... guess it depends on how stabby you feel about London..

Very stabby, stabbier than a meeting of the Senate at the Curia of Pompey of the Theatre of Pompey in Rome.

SE15 is Nunhead. It's lovely.

Both understandable ones

Looks like a 22" or 23" at max to my untrained eye

The details state 21.5” = 54.61 cm might be too small for me, but eyeballing it, it might fit.

Sounds like a done deal then

Just comparing to my other bikes it looks small.

Some sizing charts indicate it’ll be ok, another, computer says No.
