It breaks my heart to sell it but I have a large van repair bill looming. So I hope it will go to a good home.

Blimey. Can understand why you're reluctant to part with it.
If it wasn't for (1) having just built up a road bike and (2) not actually having enough cash, I'd be in there like a shot. Is the frame a restoration job or one of the Falcon-built "neo-retro" orange Holdsworths that were mentioned in CW a while ago?

It is my own that I had built, but was the inspiration for the re-issue, so it is quite a special bike really. But I need my T4 more so I put it on here because it probably has the best chance of going to someone who's going to really cherish it.

I 'm pretty sure that this and my Pace RC200 in blue anno (which was one of only 5 made!) will be among my biggest sale regrets, but there's always other bikes I guess.

I could spend a small fortune on here if I had the cash!

I really like the idea of this bike, with old school frame, carbon forks and updated, really the best of both worlds.

Might have a go at something like this in new year.

Well it hasn't turned a wheel since I last offered it for sale although it now just has plain black Ultremos on instead. Would anybody be interested in it for £1400 for a quick sale ? (Collection preferred due to value and it being a one off)

Cheers

a true retro bike then, blending the best of old and new, it looks good was admiring the new one at the York Show last weekend, but I have done a similar build with the Raleigh Record Ace, handbuilt Reynolds will frames, class paint jobs and modern components make 2 wheeled works of art, not just another bike

Very nice.

I'm not far from you, but haven'tt the free'd up funds at present-good luck with the sale.

I am selling a few items myself, if successful I might be in touch.
