1969 Witcomb with modernized upgrades 9 Speed Campagnolo
Link to more pictures on craigslist https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/b...881410144.html
Selling off some things as I try to down size. The Bike is very nice. $350 Shipped in the USA.
Taken from my Craigslist add:
This is a 1969 Witcomb frame that has been modified and upgraded with a more modern Campagnolo Veloce 9 speed Components, from my personnel collection. Witcomb was a custom builder in England, very well respected builder. Richard Sachs , JP Weigle learned their frame building craft at Witcomb at about this time period. The frame is made of 531 Reynolds with Campagnolo fork end and drop out. Features beautiful wrap around seat stay caps. Built with quality. The frame was modified with a front derailleur hangar added, drilled for recessed mount brakes and internal brake cable routing through the top tube. It was repainted with the black Witcomb lettering under clear coat. All was done before I purchased the frame. All other decal work was done by me to modernize the look. The bike rides like a dream and is in excellent working condition. There are a couple minor touch ups to the paint but overall, this bike looks stunning. The wheels are true, no hops. The bike is in excellent working condition with top of the line tires that have lots of life left. The bike is fast and smooth. Ready to ride.
The frame measures 60 cm center to center. Good for someone 5' 11 to 6'2. Pedals are not included.

I'm grateful that this is not my size. My boss at the bike shop I used to work at had 2 Witcombs; they were beautiful bikes. I would not mind owning one one day. GLWS.

I have a couple different bar and quill stem sets. I can throw one in if the stem and bars are not to your liking. Black ITM and silver 3t ?
