If it's only a couple of years old, it will be one of the very last frames Barrie Witcomb made and will therefore have an element of rarity value.
I have got a Witcomb that is about 4 years old and it's a brilliant frame. If you decide not to buy it, I would probably be interested.

Naaah they're shit, don't touch it with a bargepole.

I was extremely close to buying one when the prices went up 160%, I wish I'd got in before DaPhoney ruined things.
I'd get it, dependent on it being a good price- I imagine that you could compare to a similar Bob Jackson for pricing reference?
I'm sure someone else will weigh in on that.

Seems to be a week of this. My mate Mark picked up a full one (80s I guess) yesterday which had been used on a turbo only. Whole thing for £70. Pfft.

Here it is: Witcomb Pic
Hello all!
Someone has offered to sell me their Witcomb steel bike ("hand/custom made"). It's a couple of years old, prob got 1000 miles on it, geared with Campag Mirage kit, VGC, although it does have his name painted on it(!) I have no idea what that would be worth? Can anyone give me an idea?
Also, are Witcomb still in business? Their website doesn't seem to work.
