Hi all, has anyone got contact details for Jim Brittain?
I understand that Jim was a keen cyclist who setup Pacific Northwest Bicycles in SF in 1971, then went to WheelSport Bicycles in Spokane in the late 1970s, followed by Valley WheelSport. Also made some frames for a while. Rumour is he might be/have been in Wasilla, Alaska?
Turns out that Jim was the first owner of a late 60s Colnago now with me and I’d love to learn a bit more about its early history from him if I can track him down. Apparently Jim bought the frame from Ernesto Colnago whilst travelling the world after his tour of duty in Vietnam.
Thanks,
Mark
