"It's nice to see Holdsworths on the forum. I have a 80's Criterium which I need to take out more."
Sua Ku, maybe you can post pictures of your Holdsworth here. It would be a great addition.

That "grading system is still worthless. What you consider great or good components like stems, seats, bars, pedals, tires, etc are too subjective to score. Besides, photographics skills/presentation can be too easily manipulated giving a bike a high undeserved score. Just leave it as is......

And presentation is completely relevant. Who wants a 5 star meal served on a trash can lid?
