Like mine!! Not quite all the authentic parts though

Haha it always amazes me the eye to detail people on this forum have. The stem was annoying me as for some reason it could not go any lower and the proportions looked off for me! Not sure if the stem was slightly warped or what it was but I bought a replacement that fixed the issue!!

Just scraping in with my 1975 Holdsworth Professional which I have just finished setting up. You see a few refurbished ones of these kicking around but this is in it's original paint and in great condition with full Campag Super Record throughout and Cinelli Saddle, stem and handlebars. It rides...

Re: Final build update - bought some Campag NOS brake hoods. They are surprisingly see through!

Check out my Super Mistral in my sig! Blue works great :)

That is looking great. I love the sticker touch. I got my hands on three of them from the shop and have used all three on my bikes!

Holdsworth Professional circa 1977 NOW SOLD 531 frame and matching forks (same serial number) Campag ends etc. Really nice frame. Has been recently refurbished. seat tube is 24". I am 6ft and just slightly too big for me unfortunately although I can ride it comfortably.a few small chips here...

Just finished tidying up this 1974 Holdsworth Professional. All original paint and very good condition! Serial Number 41528

I am just putting up my updated pics. I have gone for the Vittoria Corsa tyres now which has improved the look greatly (thanks for the input!). The tyres are great and the bike does feel very quick now and goes well

Re: Holdsworth Professional 1975 So I have since got screws and they are now in place (had to dig them out of my toolbox) and I have been looking for tan wall tyres but not sure what to go for. Thinking Vittoria Corsa or Panaracer gravels but any suggestions would be very welcome. I am unsure...

Re: Holdsworth Professional 1975 The paint is in great condition. The previous owner had it hanging up in his office apparently so it has been spared alot of the scratches, scrapes and fading alot of others have had. Having had other bikes resprayed I see a massive value in having one in an...

Re: Holdsworth Professional 1975 Thanks for the tips. Cables have been fixed and brake blocks swapped (I'm impressed with the eye for detail!!). I never got on with the toe clips (too much city riding for my wide feet) so even though I have them, I'm leaving them off!

My obsession with Holdsworth continues and I have just built up this 1975 Holdsworth Professional. The great thing about this is that it is not refurbished and the original paint is in really good condition with a bit of a patina in the blue panels. I have built it with full campag Super Record...

Re: It is a Holdsworth Professional so I would not have thought it's a poor quality BB. I cannot feel any give and the tubes look fine from the inside but I am just curious as to how that paint crack might have occurred (a bit of movement at one point?). Its only because I have had several and...
