1981 Holdsworth pro frame restoration

Saladfunky · Mar 25, 2014

I have a Holdsworth professional which although is ridable I think deserves doing up as it is looking tatty having been riden regularly since the 80s. Can anyone recommend somewhere I can get the bike restored to the orange and blue team colours with trasfers as well? I live in Bedfordhsire so ideally in the North London or home counties area??
thanks very much

Mario Vaz is in SE LDN and did my Holdsworth in 'team' colours (although before I acquired it).

Thanks for this, i'll look into it. I like the look of your Holdsworth Project. . .Sourcing the campag stuff will be a challenge. . Hope it goes well, I'll be interested to see how you get on.

Def go for Vaz my LBS here in Balham south London had some newly returned Holdsworths awaiting rebuilding and were as good as the originals we lusted after and looked at in the sadly recently closed shop in Putney, and it's a small world until you cycle round it so hope I havnt got too many facts mixed up but think Mario's brother has just left Chas Roberts employment to join his brother,Chas and His sibling Geoff obv trained by their father who iam sure built for Holdsworth\claud Butler but that another family tree!!

I also am about to get a Holdswoth frame (Mistral) who definitely needs respraying. Contacted Vaz, will see how much he asks for it.
