I'm selling this 1950s Path Racer frame & forks.
Tubing: Reynolds 531
Seat tube: 54cm ctt
Top tube: 55cm ctc (will double check tonight)
Head tube length: 112mm
Rear spacing: 110mm
I'm 90% sure it's a Holdsworth, although there is a possibility it could be a Viking. If it is a Holdworth the seat stays date it to 1957, but the serial number dates it a bit earlier. So I'm guessing at 1956. The Nervex Pro lugs mean it could be a Cyclone, or a later Zephyr. It's all very confusing, this is all info I've found from help on forums, trawling the internet etc so if anyone can shed any light on it then that would be great.
The chap who I bought it off got it in its original condition, and said he could kind of make out a W & a V on the decals, but now it's been re-sprayed by Bob Jackson in bright yellow. The paintwork is really nice, very vibrant and in very good condition. The tubing's all fine, there's a very VERY tiny ding on the seat tube halfway down, I'll add a pic of that but it really is tiny.
It's a very nice frame, if you're in London then feel free to come and have a look. I'm in Stoke Newington N16.
