Great find

I'm no expert but a big fan of Holdsworth.

The fork may have been custom on this or a one off or.....

It looks the part and is cool as heck, it could be better if a replacement or special order or again......

The pic of the 49, 50 and 51 track show a twin plate crown that seems to be cleaner but no Nervex Pro lugs.

Many of these were ridden daily and to the races on the weekends so it may have been speced with this crown/fork for stoutness of the day.

I would get back to it and scoop it up if close enough to your size post haste.

I like mystery frames like this with a seeming story weather it comes out or not, good possibility to have a one off.

Make it so.
