Here's an interesting essay about framebuilder J P Weigle. http://www.core77.com/blog/exhibitions/bike_cult_show_2014_jp_weigle_reflects_on_40_years_of_framebuilding_-_a_photo_essay_27485.asp
Like several other well-known framebuilders he spent some time at Witcomb Cycles, which was a ramshackle place about 2 miles from where I live. When I was first thinking about having a made-to-measure bike Witcomb's was one of the places I spent time talking to him. The shop still looked exactly as it does in that photo - it was a wonderful place. I eventually decided on Roberts, and shortly afterwards Witcomb's moved to Wales and disappeared.
