I looked at two Holdsworths at a recent bike flea market but they were in the $450 range. Too rich for my blood right now. They were 60s and 70s vintage with Campy.
That blue is my favorite color too.
Comfy-ness works for me. That's what I wanted for this bike since it will be used for brevets. I'm up to 200 milers but plan to do longer ones when my daughter is older. With these 32c tires, they measure 29mm on my rims so your assessment is spot on.
I found this on ebay for $600 but it came with the Phil Woods hubs, bottom bracket and TA Specialties crankset. Perfect.
