• The Holdsworth is one of the few really convincing 'original' old bikes I've seen on ebay - it looks as though it's been stored, carefully packed, for the past 60 years.

    I note the vendor's description is not completely accurate - the brake levers are Weinmann and I'm nearly certain that the hubs are Bayliss Wiley.

    I think the rear mech is a Benelux Mark 7. It's very rare to see one that has survived on a bike - those that still exist are mostly to be found in parts bins!

    Lol, now you mention it, my Benelux rear mech (and matching 3-speed) came from a parts stash!

  • I imagine it will make good money for the seller, If recent sales of lightweights are anything to go by.
