Subject: [CR]Holdsworth age clues?

Hi Everyone

I'm looking at a rather tired Holdsworth frame as a possible winter project. I'm wondering about the best way to determine its age? I notice Dale's bike on the CR page has the wraparound stays, but the '78 bikes appear not to. Did they drop them in the mid 70s? Is there a date code in the serial number? General reflections and cautions from Holdsworth owners also welcome.
