Holdsworth Frame Numbers

[Midlife]

If it wasn't for the numbers it could look like a Carlton Flyer that someone paid ten Bob for nerve lugs. Any head badge holes?

Thanks dwshrimshaw.
I had noticed the brake bridge on mine was straight compared to a confirmed holdsworth. I did think the number fitted in with holdsworth shop builds although i did not notice the number types being either right or wrong. Apart from a CB or Holdsworth are there any other possibilities or any other photos that might help eith id?
Many thanks for help so far.

Not sure to be honest, I expect other will be able to ID this, lets wee what other replies you get.

Re:

Nervex pro lugs were used by so many, also trade builders.
My best suggestion is Stan Etherden and John Barclay (Jensen of Croydon). The numbers fit his 2 digit year then a following 3 numbers. One of his frames was advertised bearing 67042. They normally used a metal head badge.

Frame appears to be close clearance, and primarily for track use. By 1967 most time triallists were multi geared. The fork crown looks unusual, anyone recognise it?

Thanks Keith.
I have attached a few more photos to see if that helps with ID.
Thanks

Fork crown looks a bit Ekla like?

Re:

Thanks Midlife.
I had not looked at Ekla.
I had only got as far as Davies or Fischer and thought it more like a fischer based on a comparison in a website
