Witcomb Cycles

Ummm.. Yeah, I said the Kate Pierson thing. But I deny the jaw comment... You missed the word "not" out of that sentence!

I don't think mixte frames are intrinsically heavy, in the sense of having to use a greater weight of tubing for the equivalent size, so it may be that yours was made from a heavier gauge tubing. They do seem to have a lot of flex in them, though.

this is an old video of their shop in early 70's and what they are doing with interviews with the owner of Witcomb. Might be interesting...might be good laugh..or not. Apparently the company is starting up again.

No video... but you knew this I guess.

ok just to avoid any confusion for people looking at this later witcomb cycles started i london moved to wales. whitcomb cycles is bill whitcomb who was a harry quinn apprentice. I have been confused by the two spellings and wanted to make sure any one else researching didnt fall into the same trap.

So which is the one with the legend? Witcomb, or Whitcomb? As far as I knew, it was the former?

Witcomb was the place in deptford

To anyone who cares ... a heard a rumour that someone called Barry something is still doing repairs in workshop on Tanners Hill ...

There are two bike builders called the same, but spelled differently. One is spelled 'Witcomb' and the other is spelled 'Whitcomb'. This thread is about 'Witcomb'.

Look like Witcomb no longer in business, their website doesn't exist anymore.

Sad, but a long time coming. :(

Yep the Witcomb marque seems to be dormant in a welsh valley somehwere.

But did you read what I just wrote above?

Ah, missed that bit, sorry!

Any idea of hours, or contact number Mr Skully, sir?

Yes, but it confused me, as I would have expected it to be someone called 'Barrie'. :)

Skully's being phonetic, silly Oliver.

Now you're rubbing it in.

Oh, Ollyver.

fruitbat, no sorry. Just a rumour I heard from some Deptford locals. Alledgedly he's doing Mario's repairs. Maybe you could go and bang on the door? Want me to, since I'm local?

If you were passing by, would be good to know.

I'll bang on the door, maybe tomorrow morning.

I want someone to roll out some dings on the Geoff so I have a good reason to go.

i am pretty sure they sold the building that housed the workshop. i would like to know what happened with the whole thing because it's funny the way they closed down in the middle of the whole fixed gear hipster fad

Tony Malone, fucking odious self promoting little piece of shit that single handedly killed a great british marque

I hope you're pleased with yourself you lying cunt

yeah, last time i went past the old shop it all looked very depressing
