Holdsworth?

AndyMart · Apr 13, 2015

Just acquired this, has holdsworth stickers and head badge but has had a repaint, campag hubs on fiamme sprints, stronglight cranks, campag gearing and headset, GB bars and stem, weinmann brakes I think, seems light, seat post is 26mm, has the wrap over seat stay. Anyone shed any light on model and year? I'm guessing late 60s?

Seat post is 26mm but it's been shimmed with cardboard!

Re:

Hi, is there a serial number on the bottom bracket, I am guessing it should be in the high 39000's. Terry

Hi, that makes it around 1966, bad guess on my behalf, I was thinking early seventies. Serial number appears okay ( should be on steerer as well ), it certainly looks like a Holdsworth Mistral from 1966. Nice bike, one of my favourite 'all rounders'. Terry

Wow, it's in pretty good nick considering it's age, will be a pleasure to get it back up and running, I have a very gentle resto in mind, replace as little as possible.

Re:

Hi, just take your time, it looks like it should be a straight forward restore, your decision point may be the paintwork, the components should look great, may be too good for the paintwork ? Terry

The brazed on rear centre pull hanger makes it a bit earlier than it looks as it's such a classy frame. Simple flam colour would look nice and not break the bank

Red and white with gold decals and lug lining?
