I have a team model, supposedly actually ridden by a notable member of the Holdworth team, nicely restored by Argos, and I did not pay anywhere near that. Maybe this will inspire me to finally build it up.

That combined with this one's nice original finish and a popular size all justify a "decent" price. That two people desperately want this one is where the seller is lucking out. If any of the variables I mentioned were different I would not feel the same but in my opinion +/- $1200 is about right for this framset. I was planning on bidding; I'm out though as to me, she has surpassed the price I was willing to pay (which is sometimes different than the general consensus on a frame or bikes typical market value).
