To clarify a few points as there seems to be some mis information in this thread . We are now producing for Holdsworth the heritage range that is built as close as possible to the original frames , using Reynolds tubing , all hand made in the UK or Italy by the top frame builders . Mark Reilly...

Re: yes thats a lemond made by billato i was importer of that model back in the day , those were pretty nice frames much loved by wayne randle and john tanner due to the super long top tubes billato used to make frames in the 80s for concorde and lemond for sure , they were a pretty big...

The reason is because we remember Holdsworth from the glory days and we want to do our best to get to that level . Not sure why you would not consider a "new holdsworth" as authentic as an older one , or use the words "perceived" , these are made in the UK , made on many models using the same...

Re: There seems to be a bit of mis information going round here . We tried to come to an arrangement to have an official range of decals made by H Lyoyd . We asked for a simple % royalty agreement subject to a yearly fee , but unfortunately an agreement wasn't possible . If I remember...

yes sorry - ford cortina thats the one ! i will edit

Re: Pricing is from 799.99 for most of the models , a couple with more work on the chrome lugs and more detail are 999.99 , the most expensive is the italia version with columbus tubing , chrome lugs , and stainless stays and thats 1199.99. Come meet lorenzo , jamie and me at l'eroica , to...

Re: Thanks for the positive comments . We are looking to do as good a job as possible , and pretty soon want to bring the Holdsworth manufacturing in house , to sheffield , steel bikes made in the steel city by yorkshiremen . We have backing from RGF and tech support from my old framebuilder...

This bike is still on display at battaglin offices in italy . They reckon its the first carbon monocoque made in Italy . Remember at that time Giovanni Battaglin and his bikes was right up there in terms of profile and prescence . Theres some nice modolo kronos levers on the bike . He was...

I sent a message to roberto and he sent the following - i asked him to confirm it was a billato frame "Hi Dave, yes it is . thanks for this attention to me , I will follow up that forum."

let me ask Roberto directly and let you know, I am still in contact with him . He is still in the bicycle business but his Italian production stopped a long time ago . He made a lot of bikes back in the day and is very much a larger than life character .

The lack of action previously was not due to us not being concerned at all . We simply had a 4 working day backlog on emails and the email hadnt been seen, what actually started the ball rolling here was the email that was sent to me personally and not the forum thread . I received the email...

Yes you are indeed correct about current email times . We are trying to sort it but getting extra staff up to speed and trained isnt an instantaneous fix , and we are grinding our way to improving this but at the moment its not good enough and hasnt been for a good while. Sorry is the best...

Of course we wouldnt sell a fake , this is a Sarto made frame and they have a good reputation , we are in touch with Sarto over this situation and looking for both answers and resolutions .. We are contacting customers going to offer customers an alternative fork , or of course a full refund ...

Jorge I have your mail and have replied directly to you I am sorry about this incident and we will react quickly . I will also find out why your message was not replied to by our customer services and have asked you to confirm where sent to and what date , this is unacceptable and it is not...

yes , it was unearthed in the Sab stock , along with a couple of Lemond versions . The last box at the back of the warehouse , must have been there 20 years !

Yes , as distributor I should know - it was Roberto Billato . First frames were Columbus sl , and TSX . The red / yellow team Z ones were very well received . Lovely long top tubes on the early Lemonds , much loved by Wayne Randle and John Tanner . Randle won the Archer GP on a 23 lb TSX...

Just to clear up a few points . We bought the Sab factory and stock last year following me bumping into the then owner Pier Luigi Mullaroni whilst I was on summer holiday in Rimini . Pier Luigis dad still has a small shop in San Marino full of 1990s Fondriests and other retro items , many...

yep come down were just off junct 34
