There is currently a Holdsworth Mistral frameset being auction on Ebay (item # 320075572709) by another individual that does not mention that there is a color/shade discrepancy between the frame and the fork, as they don't match perfectly. This could be a critical factor to any current or potential bidders, so I wanted to mention this to CR members. I previously owned this frameset and had it restored approx 4 years ago at the Bob Jackson shop, selling it to the current owner about 3 years ago. I am not sure how this color/shade problem happened, but this is the way the frame was returned to me by the Jackson shop and it was not worth sending the frameset back to the U.K. The pics on Ebay do not really do this color discrepancy justice, so if you are interested, you may want to ask the seller for better/more detailed photos. And yes, I did mention this problem in my Ebay auction when I sold this frame to the current owner. Just thought you should know.....
