HOLDSWORTH LA QUELDA FRAME c1947-8 23in bronze welded (fillet brazed). The frame number indicates that this is an early post WWII frame probably around 1948. Although it needs a repaint there is a lot of the original finish still showing including fabulous green and gold lining and a wonderful spearpoint¹ head tube. All the transfers are available and I can arrange for this frame to be refinished in the UK to the original design or can supply transfers both at extra cost. It comes complete with a Hobbs Lytalloy headset and a British bottom bracket. There is no frame damage apart from an inexplicable dent to the top of the fork crown on one side - this is shown in one of the photos. This could easily be be filled with a little braze before rechroming. This frame will look absolutely gorgeous once restored. Photographs are available. $185
MACLEANS 20in frame c.1948 This is a lovely Macleans 20in frame from the early post war years. The lugs are Oscar Egg¹ type, there¹s lovely gently curved rear brake bridge and the forks have a wonderful two plate crown. Period frames from the post-war years, this small, are quite rare. The paintwork is non original but the transfers are available and I can arrange for this frame to be refinished in the UK or can supply transfers both at extra cost. The frame appears to be completely straight and I could not spot any dings. Macleans were one of the first British lightweight¹ framebuilders setting up in business in 1919 and they continued through into the early 60s before being taken over by the Holdsworthy Company. Photographs are available. $145
