Early 70's Holdsworth?

Has all the hallmarks of an early 1970's Holdsworth except for the head tube lugs. Maybe not a Professional but rear the top.

Wrap over seat stays



Holdsworth used the Prugnat S style lugs on a lot of frames.



They also used these style lugs on some of their lower priced models.



During the bike boom, builders used what they could get, especially lugs and fork crowns so who knows.

It's definitely a good quality Brit frame from the early to mid 70's. Very much worth restoring.

1 question and 1 comment:

Does the bike fit you. If the frame is too big or too small pass it on.

Next, get the bike in riding condition with new cables and housing, brake pads and tires. Take it out and ride it for a while then decide whether it's a keeper and worth putting time and money into.
