Hurrah! Another lovely Holdsworth.
No.39359 which should make it 1973 Super Mistral (has the diamond brake bridge details and a shim inside the bridge.)
Cleaned up the chrome and on the rear triangle it's pretty good. Fork is a little dull on the crown and tarnished on the inside faces, but pretty sure is original and it sort of looks good all the same. Ding on the TT but that's ok, all the decals have long gone but the headbadge is lovely. Some nice lining work at the tops of the wrapover's as well
Campag dropouts front and rear, looks like may have been the five-speed model (no cable guides for an FD and not signs of clamps there.
The Miche BB seems well and truly stuck in and that's got to go. Trip to Pankhurst I think as I don't want to jump down the caustic slide of paintwork death.
