Watcha,
I've just been offered an old holdsworth and I'm thinking of honing my bike mending skills by trying to convert it, but is it worth while?
The bike itself if a bit rusty in places, but it looks surface stuff only, so a new paint job might be in order.
There's no indication on the frame of the steel used although the forks are reynolds 531. The only details I can find on the net indicate this was a fairly low end bike.
Is it worth trying to rescue?
Thanks
