thanks benjy!
I'll be popping over the road to Holdsworth to chat about the bike and its history in a bit.
Redecal it and treat it right.
All this must go asap! Dibs, PMs, whatever - first to collect can have it.
Collection from N8 0EX (10 secs from Turnpike Lane tube)
**1. Condor Track Bike **
531 tubing with chrome forks. Suntour Superbe Pro crankset in good nick. Miche Primato low-flange track hubs (nice & shiny) on Mavic SUP clincher rims. NOS Campagnolo Avanti front brake. Old skool Miche threaded headset. The frame is, for the most part, an absolute beauty. However there are a couple of significant dings in the top tube. My flatmate had similar size dings in his Roberts tourer and he was told by Roberts that they could fill them in there and then for about £20. Still rides fantastically. A very tasty track bike with top quality components.
Seat tube = 57cm c-t
Top tube = 56cm c-c

Holdsworth Track Frame. Reynolds 531c frame with 531 forks, wraparound seat-stays, lugged & curved rear brake bridge, elegant fork crown. Beautiful frame. Paintwork has a few marks but generally in EXCELLENT condition for age. Nice and straight with no dings. Frame number 28062. Pictures don't really show how nice it is. Comes with a not-especially smooth (but still functional) headset but without bottom bracket.
Seat tube = 56cm c-t
Top tube = 56.5 cm c-c
Seatposet = 27.2
Rear spacing = 120mm
Front spacing = 100mm

This frameset is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The painwork and chrome and generally immaculate save for a couple of small blemishes on paint that will touch up easy enough-worst a small vein of rust on top tube. Built from Vitus steel tubes and BCM 72 lugs, with chromed Gipiemme dropouts. Comes complete with Campagnolo Record headset and bottom bracket, both of which are mint and running smooth as a pint of Dublin Guiness. Stunning framset that I was desperate to keep but unemployment is no joke. Horizontal dropouts and minimal braze ons.
Seat tube = 55cm c-t
Top tube = 55cm c-c
Seatpost = 26.2
Rear spacing = 126mm
Front spacing = 100mm

4. Dave Russell 531c frameset.
A very nice handbuilt British road frame. 531c frame tubes and 531 forks. Very light indeed. Comes with lovely old skool Miche threaded headset in good working order. Paintwork is excellent, with no chips to speak of and no dents or rust at all. Nice tight clearances. Horizontal dropouts.
Seat tube = 56cm c-t
Top tube = 56cm c-c
Seatpost =27.2
Rear spacing = 130mm
Front spacing = 100mm

5. 653 Road Frame
Not sure of the frambuilder but the cut-out bottom bracket and generally excellent lugwork suggest a very high quality build. The previous owner had it built for him from a shop in the north of England, after the Italian frame he ordered took too long to arrive. Full 653 tubing throughout. 653 is EASILY my favourite tubing - so fun to ride! The paintwork is functional but not beautiful, and the lack of headset or bb means it's perfectly ready for a respray.
Seat tube = 57cm c-t
Top tube = 56cm c-c
Seatpost = 27.2
Rear spacing = 130mm
Front spacing = 100mm

Very nice Shimano Dura Ace FC-7400 groupset. Contains levers, 6 speed downtube shifters, brakes, front & rear mechs, chainset, and front & rear hubs with original skewers. Everything in good working order, although rear brake is a touch stiff. Cosmetic condition is slightly better than pictures suggest. Ideal for a vintage build.

Stunning wheelset built around the highly desirable and increasingly hard to find alloy 10 speed hubs. These are laced onto Ambrosio Excellight clincher rims. 32 spokes front and rear. So light! Hubs are silky smooth and were serviced not too long ago. Rims also have plenty of life in them. The wheelset comes complete with Campagnolo Record 10 speed cassette.(12-25). Cassette only used for a few hundred miles and in excellent condition. Also come with original Record skewers in very good cosmetic condition. Amazing wheelset!!
