1950 Holdsworth cyclone renovation (completed pics 11/3)

back from the dead?!?

nice!

nicer!

paint quality is pretty good, colours work better than expected. there are a few dimples in walls, but adds some character. just waiting on some bits to put it all together, for a complete 1950 English rebuild :). Stay tuned!

that's a beauty, well done on the colour choice and congrats!

Oh... my.... god!!! Is that the frame you have been waiting for? its fecking LUSH!!!!!

Man, the black one looks so sweet.. what have you done?!?!

Nah get some more Hammerite and slap it back on.

Very nice!
May I be the first to say "£$€"

Yum. Looks like desert.

2 threads - it's worth it! you have really good taste dale.. this had better be a 'weekend bike'.
Now i would usually google-up a 'Tangerines and cream' recipe, but not on my time!

spill the beans dogs. how much does a beauty treatment like this set you back?

Wooo hooooo! Happy cotterpin pressing - I look forward to seeing it get twatted at polo :)

I can't work out whether that's inspiration or jealousy that I'm feeling.
Or indigestion.

Good work lad. Assuming it's inspiration, mind.

oops 2 threads?!?

i wasn't sure if the colours would go together, but they came out better than expected. Paint was by Mercian and ~£200 , but the old girl deserved it.

lovely.

but if you put riser bars, deep v or twatospoks on this I'll make you eat it.

Phwoaaaar!

I don't like it.

RPM lovely.

but if you put riser bars, deep v or twatospoks on this I'll make you eat it.

it has 1950 chrome drops, 32/40 large flange english hubs with tubs, everything 1950 vintage inc cottered cranks etc. although i've got some silver phils on anodised silver deep v's if i want to ride it (no use it just sitting in my flat).

Don't worry dogs I'm just being a cunt. That's stunning.
Glad it was worth the wait.
