Omega v wheels campag hubs

  • Ive tried searching this info, Ive got a lovely old holdsworth, with Omega v wheelset, with campag hubs, is there a conversion kit to make rear wheel fixed? Its got an 8 speed cassette a the mo.

  • there isn't. and why bother? an old geared holdsworth's a damn nice ride.

  • and it's a classic, with those component, you're better off restoring it than raping it, especially as some holdsworth go for silly money nowadays.

  • Big +1! on both Teddy and Eds posts.

    A Holdsworth frame with those components on it is definitely worth looking after and if the paint work is a little worse for wear then get it refurbed!

    Would love to see some pictures.

  • Thanks for your advice. I had it powdercoated, and put snide decals on it, but have now sourced the right ones. Its got down tube shifters not funny on busy roads! Its also got a rear mech with "exage"? on it, (cant work out if its shimano, working with campy), didn't think this was poss.

         Will post pictures at some point.
    
  • Rides like a dream, absolutely flies. Got the chance to get a Colnago c40 for £600 (defo not stolen) any good. I have heard they are the dogs bollocks.
    Must stop buying bikes, yes dear.

  • yes. get it.

  • get the colonago. keep the holdsworth as is. you'll regret messing with it in the end. Holdsworths are awesome sexiness about them I love the huricane model especially.

    First time Ive added photos hope this goes well. The first image is a thing I made in about half a day, from bits I had lying around, and a frame(Raleigh) from the tip, proper pub bike lost it and lent many times, but it always comes back in one piece.

    The next one is the mighty Holdsworth, that you good peeps stopped me turning into single/fixed.
    "Dude" there I said it!
