Holdsworth Special frame and fork - New Tange headset and new 27.2 seatpost fitted.
Great winter bike!
Reynolds 531
56cm seatpost ctc
57cm top tube ctc
27.2 seatpost
126mm rear spacing, but used with 130mm wheels no problem.
The Holdworth special was designed to be good for the club racer and training - eyelets and room for mudguards, with 73 degree angles. This rides really nicely. Comfortable without feeling lazy.
I bought this as a perfect winter bike from Hilary stone and did a long ride across yorkshire - I added eyelets on the seatstays for this. We carried alot of weight on the rear rack and the eyelets are secure and safe.
It was originally red and needed a respray. I sprayed it using primers, solvent base and 2K automotive clear. It was a 95% perfect job with decals under the clear, and since has a few marks and a tiny tiny ding in the top tube - very small and hardly noticeable.
Selling as I have too many bikes and this has been hung on the wall for 2 years, plus I could do with the money of course!

Collection from Leytonstone or work in Harlow, Essex.
Thanks
