ID this bike please

121mm rear spacing and no serial number anywhere. Rear dropouts look like campag 1010 but I'm not sure. A real Holdsworth or not? Thanks

The lug detail looks a lot older than the fork crown, the dropout looks 90s, but the spacing...?
I think the back end has been crushed in (from 126) by a hipster riding a 120 fixed hub.
The stays look a little pulled in to me.
Used to see loads of this in the fixie boom of 2006

Details of the brake bridge and chainstay bridge might help to thin out the options. I am not familiar with Holdsworth's frame details of any era. What @bikeworkshop says makes sense, but seeing 2 sets of bottle cage mounts, bottom of BB cable routing keeps it more 80s era and later except for the Nervex lugs (did Holdsworth use them that late in time?). I cannot discern if stays were "coldset" or just bent in, but I would expect a 125/126mm rear spacing for the assumed era it was built.

Thanks, a very weird build it was. 9 speed campagnolo shifters with a 7 speed block at the back

Commonly called "a lash up"

Often a sign of a bike that's been short on love, long parted from its original well- intentioned buyer.

Those full length rear brake cable guides are a feature of the late 80s.

I'd have thought that Holdsworth always stamped frame numbers, bb iirc, so have a close look that's not been filled in, or ground off.

No number, no holdsworth imo
