For what is worth, my poster is the same image on Dale's site and is clearly marked 1978. The stems on the bikes appear to be 1a's or Fiamme(see below). Shifters,bottle cage, bb cable guide and frt der. are all clamp on. Equip. seems to be NR with the exception of SR chainrings on one bike. Other bikes seem to have NR rings with the inner web removed on the outer ring. On the other hand the photo of the Super Professional SL produced for the public shows braze-ons for shifters and bottle cage and (drum roll) 1r stem.
Further examination of the poster/PR brochure reveals the following equipment details.
" The Holdsworth Professional SL frame-sets, finished in team orange with blue decals, are hand built with Reynolds 531 special Lightweight tubing, Prugnat lugs and Campagnolo short pattern fork ends."
"Campagnolo gears, brakes, pedals, seat pin, hubs, chainset, head set and bottom bracket set are all from the titanium based extra-light Super Record group."
"Other equipment includes Fiamme bends, stems and Ergal rims; Canetti tubulars; Regina Oro freewheels and Record chains; and Unica saddles."
Hope this isn't redundant info.
