I think thats a very fair price.
Its one of the last 'proper holdsworth' clauds before they were bought out by Marlboro and then Falcon.
Heres the original specs if you are interested:

You need to search for a helicoil of the right thread.

In fact you need to search for a bike shop that could do it for you at the right price, weighing this against the cost of a new crank.

Look what this rotter wants you to spend your hard-earned on:

almost completely stripped

Try using loctite on the few threads you have left.
Failing that...helicoil (assuming its the drive side)

+1 on greasing the spindle (and the nuts)
clean it all with paraffin and a toothbrush before you grease it but dont get any paraffin inside the hub.

Weak kneed in amazement. All I want to say now is "I ride the Dandy Highwayman"

and what obscenely patronising twaddle on the history of carlton's worksop factory as he purveys his 2 wheeled filth.

someone should chew that bike all right (with a jcb)

May I suggest offsetting the extra weight of that marvellous cottered crank by drilling the frame and forks all over at jaunty intervals?
Half inch diameter holes every quarter inch would lessen the weight and greatly improve ventilation inside the frame.
If it gets a bit too light do what I do and fill the saddlebag with some lead.

i've had this a few times (handlebar stem and seat post) Its easy to knacker forks trying to twist stem out. Its a nightmare trying to cut a seatpost out. Now I have a pug 531pro frame with stuck seatpost and the forks had stuck stem. This time I dint bat an eyelid I just got the grinder on the cinelli stem and cut the fucker off same with seatpost. Now Ive bought some laboratory bungs to stop the ends up and they are gonna be turned upside down and filled with caustic soda til the aluminium dissolves. (Only works on steel frame and if you care nothing about the stem and paint job)

...and thats a bicycle frame you say young man?
Looks more like a weapons system.
(just waiting for the nurse with the cocoa)

Also have you considered keeping it cottered? Has a certain kudos these days especially if the frame is a good un.

fucking rare though.

Thats why its a bitch when you meet one

Usually a motobecane

Beware the French Bike with the Swiss BB.

Swiss same as French but fixed cup is left threaded unlike French fixed cup which is right threaded.

Very pretty but looks a bit like chicken wire imho
Dont wires always snap easier where they are bent?
Plus I bet trueing it is a bitch.

ahh thanks BlueQuinn

Roberto's rear wheel seems to be leaning to the left somewhat.

Excuse my lack of whatever but what exactly does 'threaded' mean in this instance?

thanks anyway

btw dibs on any that conform to the above.
