Argh. Waited all week for this. No bids. Could have bought it with the "BuyitNow". Bummer, major bummer.
Oh well, Out bid, the other guy got this one.

Zoom in on the brake pads in the other pics in the listing. This bike was never really ridden.

Fantastic paintwork. Holdsworths were arguably the finest lightweights of their day, especially the early 70's ones. Shouldn't be too cheap when something really special shows up....I know

Aren't they just new Kool Stop pads?

I know, I know. Buy it Now price was $339.00. I should have just popped on it. Low shipping price too.

Really? Looks like a Falcon gold. The only Holdsworth Records I could find on line were silver with blue panels. Randyjawa posted one not long ago. Perhaps you are right. When would that have been?

I don't think you missed out on a screaming deal. It's in nice shape but it's just above entry level...late 60's?
edit...Ok 2 steps above entry level with the paint. Still...

Probably wasn't that close. The winner could have (and probably did) bid a more than the winning margin. Since you were the only other bidder, his bid only went up by one increment ($5) in this case. If you had bid $500 and he had bid $600, he would have won with a bid of $505.

Oh yeah, it was all about the paint and graphics. The Record was the entry level bike for Holdsworth.

+1 - more than I'd pay for it and not a screaming deal. It's a fine bike, but nothing to get worked up about missing on. It's not like Sced's!

Not as clean, maybe not your size, plain-Jane possible repaint, higher shipping cost, but: BIN under $400, better frame, better parts, nicer bike. Maybe not a Professional, even? And is the rear driveside axle slot spread just a little bit? And what's up with the "MO HULA" on the top tube?
At any rate, not as graphically appealing. I usually go for frame/tubing quality over paint/graphics, even if the logos are bold and the panels many, but to each his own.
I searched completed auctions for Holdsworth and saw 2-3 silver-blue Records, all went for less, one frameset got only $60.
