A 5 minute report on bespoke bicycles and Witcomb Cycles, the "mecca of the pedal-pushing world". This film, the footage of which were recently rediscovered by chance in our workshop, is part of the This Week in Britain series produced by the Central Office of Information for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Many thanks for taking the time to post this unique little film, it is brilliant to see the shop and especially the bespoke frames being built.I predict that this film will be watched by hundreds of cyclists and bring a warm glow to many.

Even if I have to save for five years, one of these will be my next bicycle.

Are they still in business? If not, when did they close?
