Mine still happily does 200 miles in to London and back every week. Does anybody know how I can ID a Holdsworth frame? I have what I think is an 1981 Elan but it has what look factory original horizontal track dropouts which I can't find any mention of in the various online resources I've seen. Also there's no sign that it's ever had any cable guides, bottle cage mountings etc so I'm assuming it was built for the track. It also has prugnat 63 BIS lugs which don't seem to match to the Elan http://www.veloworks.com/lug_reference/prugnat_gallery/pages/PrugnatType%2762BIS%27001.html Totally with you on the reliability of Holdsworth.

I also own an Ephgrave, three Hetchins and three Claud Butlers and the only bike that matches and possibly exceeds it in general rideability is my Gillott (1952). Surely the early 1950s were the golden era of lightweight frame building.
