For Sale: Holdsworth 531 F&F & Raleigh 501 F&F

Looking for a quick sale due to moving house. Bought off ebay about a year ago and has been sat in the garage since. Doesnt come with BB or headset (period Fiamme/mavic tubs on pepperpot airlite hubs, as pictured, optional extra). Not sure what model or age it is. Decals are from wrong period. Mint paintjob. Dimensions:

Top tube (ctc): 57cm
Seat tube (ctc): 58cm

THE BAD NEWS: as you can see there is a crack at the top of the seat tube. I have never built it up so not sure how much this would be a problem. hence only asking for £50

ALSO, Black raleigh 501frame and forks +headset. Same size as the Holdsworth. Stuck seatpost (tried everything Sheldon Brown told me, but still no luck). £20

(London only please)

you tried putting the seatpost in a clamp and then pulling the frame out?

no unfortunately I havent got access to a clamp in the city

I dont know. Anyone have any experience with something like this? I have put a seat post in it and it seems to tighten fine. I presume you can get it welded cheaply

The wheels for sale too?

I'll have the Raleigh if paddy doesn't. Cheers!

that little crack should not be a problem.

have PMd re: Holdsworth

Raleigh and wheels gone. Holdsworth still up for grabs

Are they nervex lugs? They look like it...

is the Holdsworth still for sale? are you able to post?

Interested in the holdsworth and period parts what size is it.24" vintage frame wanted

This Holdsworth frame passed through my hands fairly recently. It wasn't built when I got it and I didn't build it. The guy that has it now though seems to be frantically looking for parts so hopefully he will finally do it some justice. Lovely frame wish I hadn't sold it now...
