Holdsworth Roi De Velo....?

Jiveman60

Dirt Disciple
I have a scrapped frame, just collected yesterday evening. I'll attach some images. But a quick glance at models hasn't helped. This has track ends, Chater Lea style top eyes, two oilers on the bb shell, top tube pump pegs, very steep fork rake and a 53/55 style badge. But the only number on the shell is 144. I'll try and strip down later today. But any help much appreciated

Found the matching numbers 4169, so it's a 1938 model. It has 144 on the BB shell as well as on the fork. The headbadge is later, and there are closer drillings underneath. So likely a factory refurbed 1938, done some time in the 50's. The rake is approx 2" so almost certainly a Roi De Velo

Interesting that Stan Saunders is mentioned in the advert considering the recent thread asking for info on him on RB.
