Threw this together last night in about an hour, few things to change but was excited innit.

it's too big for Jack, I'll take his space

Not sure what makes you think anyone else is getting their hands on it... It is too nice, and was too much of a bargain to sell.

measure headtube length pls? Swapsies?

22cm I think, and not sure about swapsies, as I said, I quite like it. Need to finish setting it up before I'd even consider it going anywhere. Most likely not.

anyone got one of these?

Bought this Witcomb frame in December:

Finished the project a couple of weeks ago, rode it a bit, but never had time to take pictures, finally took some at lunch time...

Mario Vaz?

Paint is fantastic, in fact the entire build is.

Also, Jackie is keeping the Mercier.

wow Loic, fantastic result. I remember seeing the original in the flesh, and it looked too hard to repair in places!

Looks great Loic. Brakes work out ok? Did you replace the pads?

Strong work Loic!

anyone got one of these?

I like these but even the 64cm has only got a 59cm effective TT. Alright if you're more of the T Rex persuasion I suppose....

still working on this project

Yes Vaz did the frame.
Re. the Mercier, I thought so...

No, I kept the original shimano pads, bit dry, not the most braking power, but good enough...

Loving the Witcomb. Started to restore one myself at the weekend - would be delighted if it comes out half as good.

Did Mario Vaz provide the decals, or Lloyds?

Not that bad. Even I had a Colnago. However, sooner or later, everybody will experience that it's just a bike frame. Nothing more, nothing less.
It's a myth, not a miracle.
Enjoy it, so will I with other brands.
