...thanks. They are very fine bicycles, and I always wanted one.
This was the first I ever spotted locally that was my size. It needed some paint repairs I got it.
Fine bikes indeed! The English seemed particularly fond of the wrap-around seat stays(as am I). Happy to see it in correct orange and blue. I'm also happy to see it Campy equipped as Holdsworth were the licensed distributors in the U.K.
...I don't know if you have fat feet like me, or skinny feet. But if you measure a set of those Pro Ace pedals, they are not true Campy Record copies. I use them (and the SR SP 100's) a lot because they are a quarter of an inch wider than the Campagnolo's from where they hit tie crank arm face to the quill point.
Sometimes I can manipulate a Campagnolo pedal to fit my shoes and still have room for the toe strap not to rub the crank arm, by bending the quill points out using a vise, and using one or two pedal washers to move them out a little bit. But it's a PIA, and I have some concerns about having fewer of the pedal shaft threads in the crank arm. So most of my Campagnolo pedals are sitting in a box, waiting for me to change shoes back to something narrower. Which might never happen.
It's the curse of fat feet. Thankfully, the Japanese manufacturers understood my dilemma.
On cable housing color, you have me confused with an all original, authentic person. I am much more of a what works well person. And I buy that black stuff in bulk, so that works well enough. I did use my last narrow six speed freewheel. I'll probably never find another one of those over at the co-op.
