Witcomb road

Been riding this for a few years but thought I would post it up.

It is a witcomb frame, not sure what steel. I am advised it is potentially one of the frames made in the USA but was reprinted with the standard British witcomb decals in place.

It has very tight crit/time trial geometry and very little clearance between back wheel and frame.

Not the lightest but has treated me well and i've had a lot of fun on it. the bike seems to perform especially well on long drags in terrible conditions.

Love this. Did you ride it in The London Classic a couple of years ago?

Yes indeed, 2 years ago and this year too actually. Well spotted.

I see your name pop up on a lot of the Witcomb threads. You a bit of a aficionado?

Yep, I like a Witcomb. I live 'round the corner from the old shop, so I like to support my local builder. Was riding one at the London Classic when I noticed yours. 'Tis lovely.

Cheers, worked on this down at Vintage Bike Cave.
Wish I knew a little more about this one.
