1950 Holdsworth cyclone

[phoog]

Thought I'd share a couple of pics of my current build, 1950-51 (I think) Holdsworth Cyclone, I'm going to use it for some touring in Italy in a month or so, so building it with Benelux touring rear mech, rod front and Williams double fluted with an "easy on the legs" 46/32, GB brake set and whatever wheels I use will have a 5 speed 14-28

going for that "usable, not concours look"

Re:

Like that a lot. Could be quite practical with that gearing.

Re:

Great looking machine. Me and a mate recently went touring on similar period bikes, but both opted for SA 3 AW speed hubs. Worked really well. (mildly hilly)
Serious Bottle/Cage envy :twisted:
