Ed did have some Witcombs. I bought one for the first ex Mrs. Brown. Quite a

nice pale blue one. And Doug never had anything to do with American Classic.

Before Brown & White Cycles he was Ed's mechanic and also worked for United at SFO as a machinist as well as teaching machining at College Of Marin. Doug's

first hit was The Limbo Spider which enabled you to use a Suntour FW cog as a chainwheel for how low can you go gearing. And the Paul Brown/Phil Brown thing causes endless confusion. Phil Brown A pleasent trip down memory lane in San Rafael. Calif.
