Holdworth or Brian Rourke

[Billywhizz1208]

Hi there I’m just wondering if anyone out there has any availability to identify my bike for me it was my father in law’s bike back in the 80s when he rode a Brian Rourke 653 super light campy group set with a cut out bb sorry no pictures but he gave me his winter bike that I am led to believe it is a Holdworth professional 1969 frame and forks no matching 69442 but when I have tried to identify the model nothing resembles my bike thus thinking it might be a Rourke any help would be appreciated many thanks

Gut Reaction says you have a Rourke purely on the wrap over seat stay design

Wrapover style is wrong for a Rourke, more like the Holdsworth stable. There's a thread on here for Holdsworth frame numbers

I'd say Holdsworth , Rourkes tend to be thinner . Also a curved brake bridge .

As above looks like a Holdsworth to me.
