Random Italian beats random British (or any other nationality) any day. IMO!

4 digit says to me Holdsworth 1961-64. I've got a 4 digit Holdsworth track frame from this era, fancy lugs. It's a hard period to date, but Holdsworth definitely fits the numbers.

Was 160 euro, now 150 euro. Take advantage of the exchange rate!
Last punt before fleabay.

The fork crown looks a lot like an old 70s Benotto I've been painting. I'd say more Italian than anything else.

For a moment there I thought AD.. Austro Daimler! A eureka moment passes. Puch Austro Daimler did panto quite a lot of parts right enough.

Track use only spotless Zeus wheels. I've fitted a brand new single freewheel to it as I've no use for it.

That's pretty much the essence of taking a side step from a 'good job'. You can't live your life for other people, if you get the chance to do something you love, grab it.
It's a sobering thought to spend 50 weeks a year hating it, for two weeks in the sun. Or 40 years hard graft for a pension which might not even exist, or be so piss poor its not worth the grief at all.
I took the choice not to pay the bills and the mortgage and the student loan and take a chance out here. I'm not saying it was easy, there were a lot of hurdles and false starts, but as above - nobody living your life for you, you either take a chance or shut the fuck up complaining about how 'shit things are'. Unfortunately it can be ten years before 'how shit things are' becomes an existential threat, and by then you maybe missed the window of opportunity to get out from under.
Don't miss an opportunity.
The well finished wrapover absolutely says 'Holdsworth' to me.
