For Sale: Whitcomb Touring Frame and Forks 49x53

Selling a Whitcomb touring frame and forks with Campagnolo headset (the diacomp cable guide for the headset has seen better days and will need replacing but this should be very cheap). Frame is in metallic red with partial chroming on forks and rear stays. Paint is llightly chipped in place and the chrome has some light corrosion on inside of front forks but nothing major.

Cantilever bosses front and rear. Cinelli bottom bracket shell and Campagnolo drop outs on forks and frame. Frame is made from Reynolds 531 Professional so nice and light. There is a small dent on the seat tube down next to the chain ring's so won't be noticeable but I've included photographs.

Dimensions are 49cm CTC seat tube and 53cm CTC top tube. 27mm seat post I think (26.8 is loose and 27.2 too tight) and 126mm rear spacing.

I originally picked this up off Hilary Stone for £130 I think and never got round to building it then came to the conclusion I can't stand the red but can't bring myself to have it resprayed.

Frame was built by a Bill Whitcomb from Liverpool http://merseysidebicycles.blogspot.com/2010/11/bill-whitcomb.html for those interested in the history of it.

Looking for £80 inc shipping within the UK but open to offers.

I ran into this thread by accident, looking for an older thread on Whitcomb Bikes.

Just wanted to post to say how much I like this frame. It's way too small for me unforunately, otherwise I'd bite your arm off for it. Beautiful.

I sold it a long time back unfortunately but it was lush.
