Hey, im selling the holdsworth 49cm bike as the auction on ebay was cancelled because somebody tried to hack into my account.
IT is a reynolds 531 tubing, circa 1950's
Shimano 600 groupset.
Weinmann 500 brakes and levers
Brown saddle
Rear Wheel is slightly untrue.

I would like 150 pounds posted

Thanks

It looks more like late 1970s to me.
Is there a frame number to date it?
Are the cranks mis-matched?

Drive side looks like an SR, non-drive side is possibly a 600.
Nice bik though, if I wasn't so tight on cash i'd have it for my GF. Offers?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
