Re:

Which frame Mr torqueless? I'm confused which is pretty easy

The Holdsworth Pro hanging on the wall upthread. JSH started another thread with a link to an ebay listing of this very machine. All four of the machines on this thread we are on now seem to be up for grabs on ebay atm..

Ah! I see now. Does look a bit younger.

Way back when I was told the hollow wrapround seat cluster was a work of art.....All hand made apparently.

Shaun .

I first saw these bikes up for sale on e bay about 2 weeks ago,hence my calling in at Chesterfield to see them . They have all had a lot of time spent on them,Paint work was done at Argos and Bob Jacksons.A lot of polishing
Stunning close up .

Having seen them has given me some ideas for refurbing a Holdsworth fast back I have hanging in the garage . I think it is a Super Minstral .
Thinking of Purple with cream panels and red gothic decals . I have all the bits to build it . So all I need now is a "round to it".

Super Mistral with the fastback stays, very nice . Just out of curiosity does it have the brazed on rear centre pull hanger from the seat bolt?

No it does not . Guessing this makes it a later frame as Holdsworth moved away from fitting centre pulls as the norm? . Sloping fork crown . No mudgard eyes .

They are more like this.

My pro Italia from 1967. A Putney Shop Bike. Still a work in process. It still has the wraparound rear brake hanger Apparently some were cut off when Campag came out with their side pulls.
