61cm Vintage Witcomb

For sale is this amazing Vintage Witcomb, full of quirky details.

61cm Seat Tube ctc
60cm Top Tube ctc

So proper man-sized bike.

Obvious, but charming patina, the bike is a joy to ride and is in full working order.

Witcomb's were, of course, Deptford's finest frame builder for years.

£250.00, collected from SE10.

Now £200.00

Here are the pics:

More details of the components (or pics)?

.

Components would best be described as 'eclectic'

Cinelli Bars & Stem (I may have some Witcomb branded bars if preffered)
Weinmann Levers & Calipers
Suntour VX rear derailleur
Simplex shifting lever
(note, this machine has only 5 gears, so only 1 lever and no front derailleur)
Atom front hub
'Sunshine' Rear hub
Beater Saddle
No Name Crankset>

Is the saddle leather or suede?. If you end up splitting the bike I'd be interested.

What a lovely thing, good luck with the sale.

Ta :), bad time to be selling.

Weekend. Bump. Price Drop. Now £240.00

Do 'The Rules' permit me to place a link to this thread on the Retrobike Forum?

Please advise.

Bump

There is a rule about this has to be the only place you're selling the bike. I think a link somewhere else is probably fine. It's like if you had the frame in a shopA and put an advert in shopB saying "hey, go to shopA for a patinatastic vintage frame", would that be double selling? I think not.

Health warning - it pains me to admit it, but sometimes my logic is flawed. The rest of the time it's perfect.

Saw this the other day, and I must say it's very very nice.

If I wasn't there for another frame I would have been sorely tempted!

Assume sold?

Not sure what happened to this. Will have a look later, and get back to you.

Actually, this is still available.

Does it have mudguard/rack mounts? Would you post? Thanks

Sorry, not up for posting.

Now £200.00 - Look at the lugs!

I'm interested. Can I come and have a look at it?

Hi, bit of a long shot but do you still have Witcomb branded bars? Ideally 44cm Wide CTC?
Out of interest did you sell the Witcomb frame in the end?

Thanks

Sam

I think I still have the bars - need to have a rummage, so will get back to you.

I also still have the bike.

Wow cool thanks, be sweet to have some Witcomb branded bars for my witcomb.

Lived in Deptford for 13 years so have a soft spot for them.

Would be interested to see some pics of the 61cm Witcomb as well please, couldn’t see any pics still visible on the listing.

Cheers dude

Sam

Hi,

I haven't had any joy locating the Witcomb bars, sorry.

The 61cm Witcomb is in my store, which I haven't been to lately.

I have attached a couple of images I took last time I had it out.

Strangely, someone else has contacted me about this bike. I'm happy for you to have first shout.

Regards,

John

Hi John,

I would be interested in having a closer look at it sometime?
I’m still based SE so pretty easy for me to head over.

Thanks

Sam

@Jingle_Jangle this gate still knocking about?
