Hi gaz,

well they were both purchased from the shop in Deptford and like I said, as Ernie Witcomb was involved, I'm guessing his son Barry made the frames. Just below the handlebars, there's a W for Witcomb on both bikes, but other than that, I have no idea.
I'll take some more pictures of both and post them

Thanks. I just need to work my way into things slowly so as to lessen the saddle soreness! I probably haven't ridden a bike in anger for about 25 years At least there's some nice flat paths that run along the Thames that I can practice on

I've also got my daughters Witcomb that we've had since new in 1997 - it's been hardly used. It has a 19" frame, 24" wheels (brand new tyres and inner tubes), 6 gears with handle grip changer and shimano SIS gear. As above, if you want any more info or pics, then let me know.

Hi,
I've just got a new Giant hybrid bike through the Cycle to Work scheme to help me lose weight and would like to know how much my old bike is roughly worth.
It's a genuine Witcomb rigid mountain bike that I've had since new in 1993 (Ernie and Lil Witcomb are my in-laws neighbours). It has 26" wheels (brand new tyres and inner tubes), 23" frame, 18 gears and Suntour XCD 6000. If you need any more info or pics, then let me know.

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and have a question. At the age of 43, I've got myself a new Giant hybrid through the Cycle to Work scheme to help me lose my love handles and want to know how much my old bike is worth (as well as my daughters bike) before posting the For Sale thread. Is there a specific place I can post asking this?
