Steve: Prugnat lugs, "Allez!" cinelli-esque crown...early 70's

It is known that Edwardes badged a load of Holdsworth Mistrals in the early seventies as Gillotts, they may have done others too.

"Allez!" was a Holdsworth house brand, and they used prugnat lugs on the mistral, professional and others. I don't know what crown went on the mistral in 1971. The frame number cetrainly is not a holdsworth number...but if the wheelbase is 41" you may have a Holdsworth-mistral/Edwardes/Gillott numbered to the Edwardes system.

Life's never simple, Norman
