Hi
Just discovered this thread and its beautifull pictures, and I though I could maybe post pics of my own Holdsworth, even if what I've done is not a purist work as Dogsballs superb work!
First of all, this is a conversion, and the parts are all more modern than the frame, as you can see...
I changed the crank set since as I could not achieve good chain tensionning with the one you can see on the picture (a bit oval and not true).
This was as well originally mounted with 27X1/4 wheels, and I the brake pad now is really at the limit of the adjustment!
The guy from Holdsworth cycles in Putney told me the frame is probably from the 50s, but I don't know what would be the model / name of it. It is very simple (was more like a touring bike originally) and the lugs are very minimalists. If anyone has an idea about this...
Cheers.
Loic
