I bought this and it has been my pride an joy for all too short a time, but due to a move I can no longer keep it monetarily nor space-wise.

N.B. The saddle has changed to a modern brooks Swallow in honey.

Here are some photos:

And I know I posted this on my other thread, but I don't care.
Please take this off of my hands.

It is ideal for someone in the region of 5'10 up.

isn't that the one dale restored?

anyone who buys this would be able to race it in the veterans track day, along with a man who pushes a doll dressed as elvis along on a wooden bike.

yup.
bang on.
I had dreamt about owning one, bought one when i had money, byt have moved out of my parents home for good now and can;t keep it or afford to.
I'm not ashamed to say how ashamed I am of myself.

this is in response to nimhbus's question.

how much?

O.i.r.o. £1949 - 1950

I love it but I'm a bit skint... oh well, guess i'll have to keep dreaming

I thought it was offers 650-850 GN..

you're right, nimhbus is a joker.

size would help!

its around 22.5" st, similar tt
But as mentioned ideal for the rider from about 5'10 to around 6'1 because of the old school dimensions, of course this changes with body shape. could easily fit someone a bit bigger, not smaller though

Don't try and pretend you left it out on purpose.
fucking newbie.

it's not the nicest holdsworth i've ever seen

;)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What colour would you like it?

I love her, but she's out of my league.

What? Bloody haters. The orange is lovely.
Like a penguin paperback, as per some other thread a few months back...

Seriously, how much?
