hi kai,
Have you checked the serial number / year of production on the bike? Some Holdsworths were made by Bill Hurlow, if it's one of those you may be selling yourself short!

Jacqui, where can I, with the serial number check who made the bike?

Not sure if it helps, but I had an old Holdsworth frame..... and by searching the site below managed to pin point down to the year of manufacture if that helps....

I could be wrong (I'm definitely not an expert) but the Holdsworths that Hurlow may have been involved in would have been earlier than this model - probably about a decade earlier in the early 1950s. Not an expert though so happy to be corrected!

stupotq - you did have an old Holdsworth frame. I think I have it now!

i'd tentatively say this is either a "Holdsworth Elan" from 1982, or, more likely a 1976 "531 Special"

not a special - as it has the cable guides on the top tube which the 76 special doesnt have.
Also that special doesnt have mounts for shifters and I think the specials from around then all had campagnolo dropouts - the frame above obviously has simplex ones....

I think they put it at late 70s or early 80's

Really nice frame, unfortunately I've got two Holdsworth's already, can't really justify getting another.

go on, get another one

bump

still got the frame, give me a shout if interested

Looks nice pm sent

still got it - bumping this for the last time

i'd love to buy it, my size and all, but overpriced.

not overpriced at all - holdsworth...!

good price

seems overpriced to me, I paid little more for my merckx, but I'm no expert but maybe the proof is in the bumping?

...
