Re:
I bought this as a frameset last year, with the intention of re-spraying it and doing a period restoration. However when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the overall condition of the paintwork and decals so decided to build it up with parts I had lying around.
The seller originally listed it as a late sixties Holdsworth frame but gave no model name. From the graph of 5 digit numbers, my frame No. 34405, falls somewhere in the last half of 1969 and the sloping fork crown indicates it could be a Super Mistral.
I think the paint is original, though it is kind of plain for a then top of the range model.
Would appreciate any information that might give me more idea of the frame's true identity.
