My question is; is there any way to tell who of these three might have built this bike? Perhaps all had a hand in it's constuction. Any insights would be appreciated. Cheers!
Thanks for the kind reply...70 mm, that is a monster! I thought this Witcomb USA was such an interesting time capsule of mid 70's main stream and obscure build components that I wanted to learn more of it's history...and having owned and rode a couple of Fat Chance mtb,s in the past made me more interested in it's builders. I will look them up to see where that leads me. Cheers...
