Hi! I can't tell you exactly the length of bottom bracket, but with 85% certainty, if I remember well, it is 118mm Stronglight Competition like this http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx? ... p;AbsPos=8. Headset is Competition V4 model: http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx? ... ;AbsPos=14...

I have 1972 PX 10 that I could part with, as it is too small for me and I have too many bikes anyway... lol http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... p;t=295260

Axles landed safely, everything ok, thanks and bump

can I have: 21.NOS titanium axles set 1x front 108.5 mm 1x rear 141 mm 1 x rear 135.5 23£

There's rd listed atm and I saw the stem, but it disappeared quickly. If I had noticed the original listing I would probably have bought it... (the full bike) Now frame re-listed as an auction with £300 starting price http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brian-Rourke- ... 1912822873

Now stripped f&f for £365... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brian-Rourke- ... 1904903789

Bought the frame some time ago, components gathered for few years and voila! 1985 Mercian Superlight Reynolds 531c frame with almost full Campagnolo Super Record groupset. I've just finished building wheels for that beauty so few photos with still clean tyres :)

Fantastic lugwork. What are your plans for that bike? Waiting for the progress, good luck.

From that pictures the frame doesn't look that bad. The rear wheel almost touches seat tube even being deep in the dropout, very nice :) The best place for decals is: http://hlloydcycles.com/

You can upload pictures to an image hosting website and post the link in here.

I dated mine searching the internet for similar serial number plus there's very good source of Holdsworth knowledge here (if you don't know it already): http://www.nkilgariff.com/ There's history of models and some catalogue scans. Check 'Readers Bikes' section of Classiclightweights...

Good restoration cost money, bad restoration will lower value of the frame. Offer it as it is.

Thanks! And a photo from Eroica Britannia:

Reading the frame number it could be or 1960 or 1974, I can't really tell. Anyway I rebuilt it recently for Eroica Britannia for my lady. So handlebar and stem changed for Cinelli 1A and Criterium handlebar wrapped in white leather with red stitching. Brakes changed for Universal 125, white...

Another price drop... £380+delivery I need space, too many bikes and frames to build....

I second that Nice looking bike :) I would just change the saddle for more appropriate looking, tyres for amber wall (like Veloflex Master), redo the bar tape, put hoods on brake levers. My choice would be white cables, white bar tape, honey Brooks Swallow, gum hoods As for aluminium parts...

Exactly :) Photos don't work, you need to upload them on an image hosting site and post the link to them.

As for not expensive quality resprays I would recommend Ellis Briggs http://www.ellisbriggscycles.co.uk/, decals from http://hlloydcycles.com/ There are some Merlin decals there. If the frame is not in very bad shape I wouldn't advice to respray but preserve paintwork. It is original only once...

+1 for imperial allen key, about £3 at nearest Hombase, my Mercian has imperial bolt
