As the title says, the Holdsworth is sold. This list is really cranking. I'm in a major parts sort before veloswap so more will come...

> Holdsworth PRo's have fetched stupid high prices of late - but this one is the

\r?\n> budget minded enthusiasts dream (or the clean bike fans nightmare).

\r?\n> This frame is 54cm c-t with 56cc top tube. It is a holdsworth pro in orange,

\r?\n> but rather than carrying holdsworth decals it has Hill Cycles decals. As I

\r?\n> understand it, Hill Cycle was the holdsworth importer, they had a team, and they

\r?\n> raced these holdsworth pro's labeled with the shop decals. There is no

\r?\n> headbadge either but an H. But the wraparound stays (with pinstripping) and the

\r?\n> fork leave no doubt as to what the frame is. And the orange paint is just like

\r?\n> the typical Holdsworth pros along with the blue pannels (where it says Hill

\r?\n> cycles).

\r?\n> Now - this frame is in rough condition. Paint is horrid, and there is some

\r?\n> rust, but I think that it will be OK on repaint. Or, one could do heroic

\r?\n> touch-up and have something that looks cool and terribly beat, but still kinda

\r?\n> cool. No photos - just think ugly and rust but holdsworth cool....

\r?\n> Price is $175 plus shipping. So if your wanting a classic holdsworth (with a

\r?\n> name twist, but want to see that orange and chrome love) than here is your

\r?\n> budget chance. Any less and I'll make it into an evil city cruiser machine and

\r?\n> keep it for myself.

\r?\n> And - I do guarantee that my description is accurate. And if you buy it and it

\r?\n> turns out that I'm wrong and there is something structural wrong with it, I

\r?\n> don't believe in anybody getting stuck with something that is no good. So I'll

\r?\n> take it back and we each pay shipping one way. Life is too short to have bad

\r?\n> Karma - its gotta be fun!

\r?\n> Oh - shipping only in the US on this - I want nothing more difficult that

\r?\n> driving to FedX.
