I doubt anyone in the US ever heard of this builder. As was made clear in the auction, this is NOT the more familiar Witcomb. Also, the 75 GBP minimum bid and 60 GBP shipping to US is a lot more $ than it was two years ago, What's more surprising is that someone in UK didn't buy it.

As indicated, this is about the Whitcomb frame Hilary Stone had on Ebay, item number was 6506662291.

Seemed a rather nice frame, Columbus tubing, tied to a rider in England, yet it garnered no bids. Can someone tell me why it generated no interest on this list? It was outed by two listers, yet no bids. Considered it myself, but I did not pull the trigger as I decided it was a distraction from a bigger goal.

Comments, please?
