Holdsworth Birthday Bike

[Tobias Rodriguez]

Earlier this evening I won what I think is a 1982 Holdsworth Lady Mistral on eBay. It is a birthday gift for my sister, I think I done ok on it. My dad will be helping me with the clean up and anything else needed to get it ready for the big day, he just doesn’t know it yet. We don’t have that long.
The golden yellow pearl paint is quite clean and hopefully it will just need a quick going over to get it riding nicely. I think we’ll have to put some straight bars on it because my sister doesn’t like drops.
Let’s hope she likes it.

Here’s a pic from the listing.

Apart from a degrease of the drive chain and a soapy wash she’s all done. My sister loves the bike and is now on the road.
We fitted a nice clean Selle San Marco Lady saddle, bars to my sisters liking along with some 80’s Weinmann levers and some new grips and brake cables.

Thanks for your kind comments. It really was a good find and a lovely bike. The paint really pops in the sunshine, it’s a gorgeous colour. My sister has reported that it rides really nicely, it’s nimble and quite nippy.

Thanks again
