Forum member RobE30 brought the bike to the Spectrum shop, to see what Tom Kellogg could say; Kellogg took photos and emailed them to Weigle, and then called him up and discussed it. I wasn't there, so I may have some details wrong. At any rate Weigle could only confirm it wasn't a Witcomb USA, but would not speculate whether it was a London one.
