A short blurb about the Day 2 bike.
1982 Harding/Holdsworth Special. 531 butted frame, not positive on fork, but original to the bike as evidenced by matching serial numbers. The duel name I assign is because an Irishman, George Harding, built a few custom bikes in his shop, but enjoyed riding and racing more than brazing so began to buy from Holdsworth. The only difference i have detected from a Holdsworth on this model (other than the name on the downtube and headbadge) is mine has no eyelets on the 1010 dropouts or forkends.

Purchased by me as a frame and fork thru a shop in Colorado (near Boulder) from an obscure reference to a shipment of frames, given on this Forum. Built with Campy derailleurs/shifters, but to diversify the road bikes, the Harding was built to be a mild off-roadie. Running Schwalbe 30mm S-Ones tubies for today and has run 33 knobbies on another wheelset. The crankset is from VeloOrange and has 46/30 rings. Needs an upgrade to Campy brakes. The bike took me through Cino Heroica last year on knobbies. 59 X 57 and feels a little small under me, don't know why, 17.5cm headtube?. maybe jump stem from 12 to 13cms. Brooks B15.
