<< In the 6 Sep 04 issue of Velonews, there is a classified ad for a 21" 1975 Witcomb that the seller claims was made by Richard Sachs. Frank Rubino, Norwalk CT, 203-838-6556 is the seller and he is asking $1500. Question: Richie, how would he identify that bike as made by you? Unlike your current one-man-show, you had several workers with you in the Witcomb USA days--Peter Weigle, Chris Chance, ??. How did you distribute the workload? >>

A while back, I had a guy offering a Witcomb USA bike on the CR For Sale page and he said in his initial ad submission that Richard had built it.. I asked how he knew that and he responded that he didn't really know... So I deleted that reference.. I wonder if it's the same guy?
