Holdsworth Professional Track Sprint

[Ecurie Peril]

Hi
First time bike poster on this forum. I retired in June and decided to spend the office whip round on another track frame. Old track bikes have become a passion)obsession over the last 10 years.
The Holdsworth frame was in good condition save for a dry headset. A period campag pista chainset has been fitted with Nitto bars and stem. I built the wheels using Miche hubs and Aerotrack rims and a Brooks Colt saddle tops it off. The orange bar tape is a nod to Holdsworth racing colours
Current gearing is 50x14 and first laps of Derby Arena were very satisfying

Welcome, nice bike that is. Not often you see a track bike that large.

Thank you. Yes they are hard to come by. It's track stablemates are a Mercian Super Vigorelli, Raleigh SBDU, Merckx MXL (ex Backstedt) and a Tokyo fixed S2.
I'd love to keep collecting but I'm running out of space and goodwill!

I know how that is. There are plenty of threads here on culling the herds or building new sheds, which says a lot. I try to limit myself to useable bicycles and as much difference in types of bicycle. But if I had space and budget I would have a hundred bicycles... Goodwill is something I don't have to think about though.
