The Holdsworth is coming along nicely, sadly the headtube is worn away to the point that the headset doesn't 'grip' anymore, that mean I need to send it off to mercian for repair, shame really as I like to keep the original paint and decals, right now it's shimmed up for the Tweed Ride.
the new Velo Orange wheelsets is actually impressive, well made, really light and a wonderful mirror finish shine to them resemblance the classic steel wheel of the 50's, perfect for classic project like this, the tyres (conti touring) is temporary until I get some grand bois cypres 30c tyres that'll go brilliantly with the frame and wheelset (and fill up the frame nicely).
best part about the wheelset? the price = £135.
seatpost is again temporary as it's a 26.6 and hard to find a classic looking one.
