Re: Dating a Holdsworth; pics attached.

Four pics of Dad's bike, which is still ridden on a regular basis. I actually met Jack Lauterwasser, designer of the bends on the bike. Nice old chap.

Hope some of this aids 'those in the know' to unearth a bit more info about the bike. Thanks for any help.

Re:

Hi, that looks very like my Dads old Holdsworth that I am trying to restore. Mine is 5844 but i've not been able to ID the model yet. Its not a Cyclone (lugs aren't as ornate) but looking at yours I guess it could be a Typhoon.

My Dad bought it second hand during or just after the war. I remember it as a fixed gear bike in my youth but it hasn't been ridden for many years and i'm having to build it up from jus tthe frame

Very nice looking bike!

The fork crown is quite unique, it should help identify the frame.

Have you looked a the Holdsworth Catalogues available on line?
