Many of the cognoscenti are headed for the annual pilgrimage by now but perhaps some of you stay at homes my have an answer.

The recent discussion of Bocama Competition 83 and Prugnat S4 lugs got me curious about my RHBSC (Red Headed Bastard Step Child). All trails seem to lead to a "Holdsworth" built by Falcon in the mid 80s but that's for another discussion.

I'm curious about the lugs on this frame:

The window cutouts in the sides of these lugs resemble Bocama Competition 83 lugs, Prugnat S4 lugs with cutouts and Hayden Concorde lugs except these lugs have short points.

One other curious thing, notice the points on the back sides of the head tube lugs. Nervex used that feature on several models of lugs (see red arrow).
