No fastback or wraparound stays, so it's unlikely to be a particularly exotic Holdsworth. Lack of cut-out lugs too suggests it's nothing particularly special. I managed to build a Holdsworth Pro with full high-end Campag and Cinelli drapery for not too much the wrong side of £500, so this is madness. £1300 for what is essentially then a reasonably nice fixeh build on a well-painted 531 frame is absurd, especially when you look at how much vintage, 'Pagged-out, italian sex that sort of dorr will get you from a decent seller.

Indeed, you can get a brand new full custom with much better kit all round for that. He's just expecting to get all the money back that he's spent on it and it don't work that way.

Same with that Bob Jackson that Hugo just posted - "very expensive bare metal respray" - you'll never get that money back.

Anyway, why was it resprayed if it's a year old, unless it was bent?
