I've always thought a large part of the Masi, or at least CA Masi, mystic was the tragic and compelling story of Mario Confente.
Unfortunately for the price of USA Witcombs, but extremely fortunately for the classic bike community, Messrs. Sachs, Weigle and, AFAIK, Chance are very much alive and well.

I tried to snipe this but was outsniped. It was stuck at $350.00 with about a minute left. I still think it was a good deal. It looks like an original twin to the Witcomb on the CR Whitcomb page here (right down to the Shimano brakes, Avocet saddle and Suntour barcons):

BTW, considering the role Witcomb USA played as an incubator for American frame-building talent shouldn't they have a status as perhaps an east coast Masi. Of course, they didn't have Faliero, Mario and the racing tradition but $526.52? C'mon! How about Sachs, Weigle and Chance?
