In the clip where they were showing pictures of pro racers (I believe the 3rd pic) is of Tom Simpson, who collapsed and died near the summit of Mont Ventou, 1967 Tour De France
Its not Tom Simpson, it is another Tour Rider, Stan Britten I think. Tom did own a Witcomb but never raced on it.
Ridethecliche:
Are you guys using 753/853/953 more now?
We still use 531 as we have an exclusive with Reynolds, (i'm looking forward to a factory tour from them in 3 weeks), we use 631, 725 and 953, together with all the coloumbus range.
Lamplight: You should see our anniversary bike we're launching in Jan. Its half paint and half polished steel and brass.
