picture - for the love of god! Might have an interested friend...

Have now edited original post to include images. No idea what happened there!

thanks, tidy bike - i'll get this to my friend

Lovely bike, always wanted a Witcomb and this one would fit.

What sort of age is the frame?

I believe it's early '90's, and was refurbished by Barrie Witcomb about 6 years ago.

I have a much more recent Witcomb the same size that I might be listing soon. It'll be a fair bit dearer, but PM me if you are interested.

Very nice bike.

Thank you sir.

Lovely...

I grew up around SE8 and promised myself years ago that I would buy a Witcomb when the right one came along. Sadly this is the right bike in the right size but I'm not going to have the cash to spare for a few weeks. Arse!

Snap, Dan, snap.

Although I would be able to afford it mid-November, so on the million to one chance it is still around then....

Just got back from Herne Hill & was thinking about getting a track bike. I'm 6'3" so might be a bit small?

I'm 6'3 and it would be ok for me but I have short arms so it would need a slightly shorter stem.

Also, this isn't a track frame. Its a road conversion.

I'm 6'2", top tube on the Witcomb is the same as my current bike.

= it's clearly the wrong size for both of you

Nothing to see here

Damn it, Dammit.

I'm fibbing, it might fit you- book a test ride.

Never having met you I'd have put you on a 60cm due to your height, but as Dan proves we are all put together differently.

I misread the frame size actually.

I'd need a longer stem with a 58cm TT.

Bike that is next to me has a 57.5cm top tube and a 120mm stem

/csb

That frame needs gears, a rack, luggage, and me riding it around Asia.... shame I've got projects coming out of my ears at the minute... just my size as well.

You can ride it around Asia all you like, but it's collection only from SE10!

BTW, this has now been Dibs'd by a mate of Kam's.

I've still got loads of other stuff up though.

Thanks JJ, hopefully i can come along and meet you too
