This has been a great bike - ridden throughout the winter in all weathers. Funnily enough, it's also a great conversation piece. I've lost count of the number of drivers and cyclists who've admired it and said they had a Holdsworth in the past. |
When I was a lad in Wandsworth two mates had Holdsworth racers. Not as sophisticated as this but it's good to know they are still around.

My favourite bike in nice weather. |
Nice. (Also a city in France).

Good stuff. Makes me think of that TV series WA1 where the characters vie'd to own the most sophisticated Brompton..

You were lucky. We were so poor I could only have a single cog bike.
