    Witcomb frame model id

    Hi all, I have just purchased a witcomb frame, and while everything seems legitimate, the drop outs are pressed rather than forged. Did witcomb use these drop outs at all?

    1984 Elswick Turbo 12

    This was to be a budget resto, so that a mate has something to ride for L'eroica Britannia. Purchased at a local auction for £10 it needed some help. All done for under £100 (that incorrect rear derailleur is being changed for something more in keeping next weekend) before and after pics. This...
