I just posted some pics of a Holdsworth Frame I got some time ago to my
wooljersey album. Frame Number is 23118 matching numbers on BB an
steerer tube. According to the lugs after comparison to the excellent
Holdsworth site on the net it must be a Monsoon frame. Can anybody of
our brit bike experts on this list narrow down the production date using
the frame number?

I got this frame via ebay for almos no money since it had a not so nice
repaired seat stay end. The end must have been broken and somebody has
welded it leaving a chunky welding blog and a bad paint above. I decided
to file it down flush and it seems a lot better now. I am confident it
will hold up well and i will touch up this frame portion accordingly.
Funny Coincidenc about this frame is, that listmember Toni Theilmeier
has bought that long time ago in England and has passed it one to a
friend who agin put it on ebay where I got it. I think this frame
deserves to be ridden again. No, I am not considering a full resto, just
some touch up and proper components, probably I will set it up as a
singlw/fixed speed.
Any comments and help is greatly appreciated.
