    Is this is a special bike? It seems to be largely intact from the time that it was built (1970's) save for upgraded pedals, seat and bars.

    Basic spec:
    Reynolds 531 Holdsworth track frame (see the rear axel slot) with Campag rear end.

    c-c seat tube is 59cm. I know this is longer than you requested, but the bike is 2" more close-coupled that most modern configurations, and I have no probs with it at 5'8" tall.
    c-c top tube 58cm
    Vittoria Georgia22 tyres
    Mavic MA2 rims
    Mallard, France back hub, Normandy front hub
    Shimano pd-r540 pedals
    Rocket brand flip-flop rear sprocket (18 fixed/16free)
    Campag seat post
    Brookes swallow seat
    SR Royal front crank (52 teeth)
    Sedis chain
    Universal front brake (mod 77)
    Nitto bull handlebar
    Cinelli Stem
    Charge handle bar tape (needs replacing)

    There is an old transfer on the stem that is partially legible reading 'Broadribbs Ltd, Market St, Oxford's Bike Specialist.' This shop is still there, but has changed hands now.

    I am not a holdsworth nut, but I think that this is a special bike mostly because it seems to be
    intact from the time that it was built (1970's) save for upgraded pedals, seat and bars. Is it as good as I think it is and what is it worth?

    Basic spec:
    Reynolds 531 Holdsworth track frame (see the rear axel slot) with Campag rear end.

    c-c seat tube is 59cm.

    c-c top tube 58cm
    floor to bottom bracket 28cm
    floor to pedal 13cm

    Mavic MA2 rims

    I have a complete (but with bull horn bars), original red paint, flip flop, holdsworth fixie from the early eighties. Anyone like to see?

    Hi. I have a 70's or early 80's Red Holdsworth complete with decals and lug decorations, half chrome forks, flip flop back cog (52/18 & 52/16), brookes swallow leather saddle and matching tan bull handlebar tape. Front brake in the centre of the handlebar. Original wheels. Looks very nice and lovely for age. Want to see a photo or two?
