Holdsworth Special ('79 at a guess?)

[Dora]

Got some time on my hands with rainy day following rainy day so thought it was about time to post this old girl up - my pride and joy. Built up 3 years ago from a decent frame off the bay and a donor bike from the local dump which had a full set of 600 under what seemed like an inch of road grime and which was headed for the crusher! Oh, and not forgetting my trusty Brooks Swift Ti which I've had for nearly 20 years now.

Re:

A wonderful Holdsworth, I like the color and the Brooks Swift.

Thanks Mike, bikes have come and gone but that Swift always stays - though I think the Special might be a keeper too. I'm having second thoughts about the date though, more like 82 or 83 if the stickers are correct though it may well have had a decent respray at some point. Frame has no bosses on the down tube for the shifters and has an over the bb cable guide.
