The Davies frame looks spectacular! It is in great shape. I was looking at the rear triangle
geometry, but could not decide whether it looked like a racing frame or a touring. Is it a
touring frame? Did Bill Whitcomb have a hand in all the Davies frames? Thanks for the pic.

Thanks, i love the silver colour. The crankset is Assos, about the lightest you could get at the time, and it is running 19mm tubs as well. Definitely set up for fast road work.
The frame in the picture below, is also a Bill Whitcomb, built for Barry Davies who sold Bill's frames from his shop in Banger, North Wales.
It's presently being built up with a shimano 600 groupset, ready for a long english winter. The vitus 979 forks were a later edition.
