It's a Cyclone from the '60s as confirmed on the Holdsworth Bible website:

Re:

That is a great job, lovely colour.
Just wondering where you got the Holdsworth decals since Lloyds don't make them anymore?
Planet X stopped Lloyds producing Holdsworth decals about a week after I stripped my Holdsworth Equipe, and I am still fuming. :cry:

Re:

Thanks for the positive feedback.
The painter got the decals so I don't know where they came from. I'm sure I've seen some on eBay recently though.

I'm now thinking about rechroming the rusted parts but have been quoted roughly £200 for them to be done and I don't think it's worth that. Might look for decent quality 2nd hand parts instead.

Actually I had a look again, and it looks more like a Monsoon.

The crown is the same as the '59 model.

Re:

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Got it built back up and just need to put the wheels and chain back on. Will post pictures in a couple of weeks when it's ready.

Just got round to taking pictures. Decided not to re-chrome the parts but cleaned and re-greased everything and pleased to say had many hours on it this summer.
