Phil,

I'm somewhat familiar with the history of Holdsworth/Holdsworthy but not nearly as knowledgeable as some on the list. However, the headbadge on this frame clearly says Holdsworthy. Can anyone enlighten me? BTW, the seller has posted an explanation for parting out the bike. And as another listmember pointed out, what's up with all the Harry Quinn's in the background of the first picture?
