I did have a look but could not find one, which is confusing because I was sure I had some. I shall try again and if I find one i'll let you know.

I have larger. 1974 24inch black/red original paint. Chrome crown, unusual for WBH.

1949 24inch re-finished by Argos in 'crackle' green/gold, it's original crackle finish was too far gone. Rides very nicely, not that I can put it under any strain but it feels stiff to me .

I'll have a look as soon as I can remember where that box is.

GranSport. Campa sf and Fiamme sprints. I have a letter from him stating that it is the only lugless...

Looks great,, nice colour. Certainly WBH.

A. curved chain-stay bridge with a 1/8 inch hole in it is a better guide, (But not always).

Nice thing and certainly looks like WBH but how does one know? If it had been VE i expect it would have had a semi-sloping crown for starters. I like the interim down-tube decals. Cant say I have noticed the different 'H' thicknesses, most of mine have either been restored or have WBH top-eyes.

I believe WBH stopped building for Condor in the mid-late 60's, the latest I have had was a '66 No1. Tom Board joined Condor in the early 70's I think.

Sorry, 61-63 cms or years?

Very nice. Quite large frame, 25 inch? I recently tried to sell a complete Superbe from the early 60's by WBH for £1500 quid and had no interest whatsoever. Actually one 'expert' phoned to say that the gearing would not work but it seemed to get up Box Hill ok. I presume it is by Vic Edwards...

If still available I would like to buy. Not bought on here before so let me know best way of paying. Ta.

Without doubt? If you say so, perhaps you would like to explain why you are convinced it is a RRA and not a Moderne?

Is it not a RRA Moderne, late 50's?

Built by WBH? In 1955 he was at Condor and although he was not averse to doing a bit on the side I doubt it would have been for CB. 1955 was a busy year for him at Condor as that was the first year of WBH designed Condors. Some of his Holdsworth frames featured an H to distinguish his builds...

Re: A bit harsh MatBH5. If you like old frames then a Condor built by WBH is about as good as it gets, (I am biased when it comes to Condor and WBH). Sure the frame may need a paint job or at least some transfers but I think that is a very tasty frame. Surely £250-300, find another.
