This Holdsworth track frame was given by Roy Thame to a very good English rider, Eric Smith around 1968/9. The very large and chunky seatstay wrapover indicates that it was a special built in the shop almost certainly by Reg Collard. It is in great condition with only a few small marks to the paint. Its a pure track frame with close clearances, steep angles and is not drilled for a brake. Its really one of the very coolest track frames I have seen for quite a while. £345 SOLD

Bottom bracket threads: British
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This is another extremely nice pure track frame built almost certainly by Cliff Shrubb for Geoffrey Butler and like the Holdsworth has tight steep angles and close clearances. A great frame which just needs to be repainted. £225

Whoever's interested in the Geoffrey Butler, Nick Tithecott @ H Lloyd Cycles recently repro'ed a load of ST, fork and DT decals that would probably suit that nicely enough, and GB themselves down in Croydon have the headtube crest vinyls. Nick also has the oil port screws I think.

why is no one interested in the Gitane?

please take this holdsworth away ... I'm so weak and can't resist ...

wow, those track frames are so cool

ha^

The Holdsworth is so nice, even in the proper colour and everything.

Someone really needs to take the Holdsworth or I'm gonna be a poorer man soon.
