The geometry looks so weird. It looks super long and super low. Are the stack and reach numbers around somewhere?
I have a soft spot for Holdsworth; my dad has one from ~1970 that I rode for a while which was great. Like Raleigh and many other brands they did produce a load of rubbish too, I think in the 80s.
That bike is a bit weird though. Seems more like a PlanetX bike with a Holdsworth logo on it. I would have liked it if they'd stuck with steel and designed something more like the Rondo Ruut St. There's plenty of appetite for steel gravel bikes.
Edit: classic paintjob with cursive details and colour bands on a chunky carbon frame looks a bit off to me as well
