Holdsworth represents more than 50 years of unequaled experience in building the world's finest touring and racing bicycle framesets. Constructed from Reynolds 531 double-butted tubing, this bike has many original Campagnolo components. The drivetrain has twelve speeds (2x chainrings, 6-speed cassette). The history of this bike is quite impressive - ridden from London to Athens in 1973 and numerous West Coast rides from Santa Barbara to San Diego.
Technical Specs
FRAME, FORK:
Material: Reynolds 531, manganese–molybdenum, medium-carbon steel tubing, was the standard of excellence for many decades among bicycle frame-building materials. Proponents of 531 claim that its real benefit is that it maintains more of its strength after heating, thereby building a more robust and forgiving frame.
