Old School Hero
Picked up this Holdsworth Triath-elan last night for £50. Thought it make a decent tidy upper. My thoughts after a bit of research are it's 1984, maybe 85. The original parts along with the 531cs tubing makes me think its original but the serial number H130920 stamped on both steerer tube and BB isn't what i expected. From all my online study before picking it up I was expecting to see a 6 digit number with a 0 prefix. Any Holdsworth experts any ideas why it hasn't got this type of serial number?
