For Sale: A big Holdsworth - kinda porteur style

Posted on
  • So in my quest to make some room and please the gf:
    SOLD:
    An unfinished project that I got ridable and then rode - not much left to do though IMO. (I'm not a respray kinda guy)
    60's? Holdsworth 531 F&F 24.5" c-t-t (or 60cm C-t-c new money)
    27" campag record/wolber front
    27" sunshine rear, still got the 5spd block on it ( I know, I know)
    Phillipe porteur bars
    GB stem
    Weinman c-pulls.
    Nothing else of note - just stuff out of the bits box, a new Push post
    It has been totally stripped, cleaned, was framesavered and had all bearings repacked, a new shorter BB put in, new cables etc then put back together. Nothing is seized on it


    NEEDS:
    Short term; two new tyres, that block changing to a single freewheel.
    Long term; a bit of love, a proper true of the wheels, a new headset would not go a miss though after a repack it has been smooth and trouble free, pedals as these ones are total rubbish (though do work).

    I have an old rear rack also if you want.
    SOLD
    Dunno - £175? is that fair?
    SOLD

  • Love those bars - where can I get myself a pair of those?

  • Ill text tomorrow man....

  • Cool bike

  • Is this still available? very interested

  • Hi they're made by a French (now extinct I believe) company called *Philippe, *as a style they're called porteur bars generally or occasionally promenade bars- I'd recommend French ebay, though also I'd bet on VO doing some reissues - there is a list of producers of this style on this very site if I remember rightly .
