A bit hard to read in reverse but... http://twoseriousbikes.blogspot.com/2008/08/doug-fattics-framebuilding-class.htmlRichard Sachs apprentice with Witcomb at their facility in Connecticut and J. P. Weigle, too
They apprenticed at Whitcomb England in the early 70's. Their time overlapped in the UK but they didn't start and end at the same time. I don't remember which one was there 1st. They worked together making frames at Witcomb USA. Chris Chance got his start at Witcomb USA after the American business got going.

Which firm? Amazing how many americans Witcombs trained up.
Those guys basically set up the whole NHABs scene subsequently.
