Re: Holdsworth model That makes perfect sense. And having checked the CB & Holdsworth catalogues of 85/86, it looks like the super Dalesman was the only road bike fitted with canti rather than centre pull brakes. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Ron Cowan ?

The orbit hub prior to cleaning.

Re: Hi. Usual trouble trying to shrink the picture size down but I think it’s done ok :)

Hi all. Picked up an old Holdsworth road bike with Ron Cowan on the top tube, no model name that I can find. Not sure if he was a rider for Holdsworth at all, but I see Colin Lewis had his name on his Holdsworth back in the days. Lovely bike to ride, first I’ve come across with an Orbit 2x...

Re: my old Mustang Hi. This is my old mustang I rescued from tip a couple of years back. Have had to replace a few bits as most of original stuff worn, but rides like a dream, all be it a very heavy one!

Re: Thanks. Yes, it's basic but smooth on the road.I was surprised how well the shifters work, but its probably not been used enough to wear anything out yet.

My latest find at reclamation yard. Looked a bit rough initially, lots of surface rust, perished tyres etc. Brakes were left lever front, right rear. Add in the San Francisco bike shop sticker on it I guess it's previous owner brought it over at some point. Cables, brake blocks, tyres and seat...
