tasty forks

Holdsworth
This is posted as no make. It is decaled as a Holdsworth and has Nervex lugs with the wraparound seat stays. £50 bargin!

[cite]From the seller[/cite]Thanks for the info. The frame has a number printed underneath the b/b (from memory it is 193331 - I'll check when I'm home this evening). There are no letters next to it though. I'm fairly sure the lug work is nervex and it has been suggested that the frame could be made by C. Butler. Either way, it's still a nice frame that could be built up into a presentable and working bike,

not that much of a bargain, vintage road frames can be had for less than £50 ;)

The reserve is £680. That seems high to me.

true. i'd missed that

it was originally for sale at £1000 (because it was such a rare machine with high quality components )

More lo pro fluro hipster action (i don't know why i'm even looking at these as I spent an hour pootling around Brixton Cycles pricing up a Frankenstein of a LeMond for a cycle to work scheme bike), still on £22 with 28 mins to go.

I'll be in the pub by the time the auction ends. Which is probably a good thing.

I have a Holdsworth Mistral, and I pay £30 for the entire bike.

I want that!

You see, I'd love one of those... but I'd have to be belting along every road just to not look like an idiot in it.

I think they're the nicest helmet ever, I wonder whether you can get it fitted with a prescription lens.

I'd love one, but of course, would look a moron in it if not sprinting!

You can get these lovely Campag rims (just like mine!) here:

OR you can get them at campyoldy for half the price and they mysteriously even come in the same box!!
...just in case any of you were considering buying some

Aint it weird that the 1990's are 'retro' now?
