nice! 8.3kgs is a pretty decent start for a steel frame. Excited to see it with a different paintjob. The standard paint schemes let it down a bit. Great value though it seems
oheyitsd-
Thanks, appreciated. It really is great value for money as I can’t fault the ride and handling. It’s also nice to have something made from Spirit steel. Agreed re the paint scheme so that’s something I’ll sort once I’m happy with the frame and know I’ll be keeping it. Otherwise I reckon almost a kg can be shaved off once I start splashing the cash at it ;) cheers. T

The Holdsworth is go! It’s first proper outing today so quite a few adjustments in route but it’s getting there. Obviously weight weenie parts are yet to come but only after I have the fit right. Turns out I’ve been riding bikes that are too small and I’ve been properly cramped on them.
Having big issues with the Red brakes though so that’ll require some looking into and adjustment.
Currently stands at 8.3kg so not all that bad.. Already having ideas of having the rsame air brake internally routed, braze ons removed to make way for etap and a blacked out paint scheme. Not until I put a few miles on it though and am finally happy with it all!
