The guy who brought the bike from me collected it the day before setting of for Italy and the 2009 'L' Eroica. Upon his return he left the feedback:-
"L' Eroica rocked, bike great"

Most interesting all the interest in Billy Whitcomb. As I cycled down our road earlier
ReplyDeletethis summer there was an old Billy Whitcomb 531
racer with flat tires and non-aligned bars on
the driveway of a neighbour. On querying, it had
been left for scrap metal collection. The lady
owner was apparently romantically involved with Bill in the early 80's and was delighted that I
had shown an interest and was promptly given it
free of charge! Photo availalable if interested. Bob
