Sorry about your crash!
Seeing this frame reminded me of a posting on flickr by the legendary framebuilder JP Weigle. Sure enough, the two Whitcombs look very similar except for the seat cluster. Both Richard Sachs and Weigle learnt framebuilding at Whitcomb in London and Weigle states: "I built this frame in 1973 (with some help) at the Witcomb shop in Deptford England. David Cotton was looking over my shoulder when I needed help or encouragement. "
I wonder who built your frame? Would be interesting to know. Anyway, the links are below.
