Thanks for your comments and feedback!

You should probably remove the 'h' from 'Whitcomb' in the text on your homepage though, curyam. Whitcomb was a contemporaneous Liverpool framebuilder with no business connection (afaik) to Witcomb in Deptford Sarf London..

This looks like the best place on the interwebs to post a recent addition to my group of vintage road bikes.
Acquired a Clive Stuart frame+fork, serial 181 on both.
Bike purchased in Seattle and seller knew nothing of its' history other than he bought it used in Seattle took the Campa parts.

I have read everything I could find with a quick search, but I have 2 questions and trying to get answers (if possible). Date of the build (year) and who may have brazed it?


A friend locally has a CS with wrapped seatstays he dated to 1968 that has a serial # after this one.

Talking with my friend we wondered whether each shop made several types of frames or whether builders at each shop had their specialty. Paul Washington was known for wrap-over stays, would he have also built the fastback seat clusters - or did perhaps Alec Bird do the fastback stays?

More pics of mine since I could not edit above.
