Since you are bound to know more about these than I, have a question have been wondering about for years. David built many frames with his signature "hatchet head" seatstay attachment yet yours has a "normal" seatstay treatment. Do you know if it depends upon the model or if it varied with time?
Thanks again for making this post.
My understanding is that the firm offered different lugs and seat stay finishes through the years. The seat stays on mine are pretty standard for the 60's I think.
When I was getting the Holdsworth bead blasted the metal finishers had a restored Flying Scot in for lacquering. It had really long square type lugs and different fork ends (mine are Campag). I initially thought it wasn't a Scot but when I got home checked out Bob Reid's website and found it was a mid 50's version with ( I think) Prugnat lugs and Simplex ends.
Not as pretty as the Nervex ones, or as tidy looking as the Campag ends on mine but still lovely.
