Hi there Wileyone,
Re 67117K Holdsworth branded frame I'd say definitely a 1967 WF Holdsworth Putney Shop frame. K signiifies it was built for stock to sell from floor. If you look at Kilgariff's site he says the shop made Italia Tourers for stock. By look of fender eyes on your frame that is probably what it is. It has an integral seat post bolt that is characteristic of a shop build as well as chunkier seat stay wraparound. Reg Collard was the well respected head frame builder and did mostly "specials". Other guys as Tommy Quick, Alec Bird and Chas Roberts were there at unclear times and did mostly stock frames as yours. Again info from Kilgariff. They only made about 150 frames per year in shop compared with 10 times that number in factory. The sticker on lower seat tube near BB would not be correct as if I remember correctly was not used until later 70's. Beautiful frame!
