Any info on S.W. Cotten

Finally got to see my boss's beautiful S.W. Cotten cutom made frame. It's from the early 70s. Campy nuovo record and super record. Just trying to find out more - if he still makes frames, and stuff like that.

That's the only thing I can find when google it. I'll ask him if I can take some photos, he seemed a little not wanting when I mentioned it before. I can tell you, its blue and gold, with campy nuovo/super record. Weighs about 20 pounds with spare tire/pump, around 19 without. Right now has tubulars, rear original but the front is a crash replacement.

Are these very desirable bikes?

Sam Cotten was my best friend in college at VCU in the late 60's. I own one of his bikes. What do you need to know? I can probably fill you in. If your SWC was built in the early 70's it was most likely from WB Hurlow and thus very desirable.
