Withdrawn Holdsworth road bike, almost complete.

[grey-beard]

could you drop it off down the A1 a ways to Belmont, near Durham?

I wasn't planning on delivering anywhere, no, sorry.

 

[Sir Neil d'Menture]

I'm very tempted to drive across.
Any clues as to size?
Looks like it might fit me.

 

[grey-beard]

I'll have a measure tomorrow.

 

[Sir Neil d'Menture]

Can you see if there is a frame number as well?

 

[grey-beard]

I can see a 691 I think.
Frame size, centre bottom bracket to centre top tube is 58cm. Centre seat tube to centre head tube is 56cm.

 

[legrandefromage]

Well I guess that's me told then.

Noted

Would any of you roadie types have any idea what would be the fattest tyre I could fit in that frame? 700 X 40? Is that like a 1.5"?

I got a 35 in my Holdsworth and with a small amount of grinding it wore guards as well . 730 centrepull brakes ......I suspect you'd get a 38 in mine but with fag paper clearance

My daughter's ladies bike has 700 X 35 tyres on it. If end up having to take this thing home on Friday I'll try those for size.

 

[novocaine]

this is why we need a dwellers pony express.

 

[Sir Neil d'Menture]

Well that sounds spot on size wise.
I'm out thrashing the lanes in the sun.
If nobody snaffles it before I get home I'll ping you a pm about collecting it.
