Forget the last crap, the picture were probably for a different axle which seems to have a threaded hole.
The mod 15 I've got has nothing.
Anyway yesterday in the post this has arrived:
lovely Bailyss Wiley BB axle (hopefully will be the right length), some pitting, but that's fine as I don't plan to ride the bike that much anyway:
Also a Il Primo stem and Il Primo handlebar! The Il Primo was a brand Holdsworth owned. The stem was painted black at some point and I plan to bring it back to its former glory when I find a shop that does it (remove paint, re-chrome) at an acceptable price.
Know of anyone?
Anyway, the final build will not exactly period perfect, some components go forward to the 50s, but we're close enough.
I only miss brakes, but I could run it fixed until I find them.
