Beautiful example of a witcomb hand built bicycle. This is one of the last bikes built by Witcomb, and as such is a rare item. The bike has superb provence: it was purchased in a charity auction, organised by the Terrence Higgins Trust, and is named on the top tube with both the original purchasers name and "THT 2008". Auction details are here.
The bike is in excellent condition, around 500 miles on it. The paint is in ivory colour, with a band of the "Witcomb purple"(?), and absolutely no scratches/chips/damage. The frame measurements are (as best I can take them) 57cm for top tube and seat tube, measured c-c. Campag groupset, Mirage with Veloce chainset, and Khamsin wheels, but the real value in the bike is in the frame.
Rides beautifully, but it was an impulse buy and I just can't justify keeping it.
