CAPE SETS.
I am continually being asked for my ” Goldskin Impregnable ” oilskins which were recognised, pre-war, to be the very best obtainable irrespective of price. They were made from the very highest quality Egyptian cotton, which, sad to relate, is not now available.

In the meantime I recommend Utility capes. These capes are obtainable in black or gold, and are really good value at the price. All seams are oil proofed after stitching.

They fit closely to the heel and an elastic band under the instep keeps them in place.

[Right-hand page.]

PEDALS. The ALLEZ quill pattern in alloy. This is undoubtedly THE super pedal—every point in the design has been the subject of careful thought and the manufacture is to very fine limits.
The aluminium alloy barrel and frame are in one-piece pressure die-castings, so there is no fear of the barrel working loose from the frame. End and side-plates (making up the frame) are stamped in one piece from heavy gauge duralumin which will give the longest possible wear. Dustcap and cone locknut are machined from solid duralumin bar. A felt washer is fitted to the inner bearing to exclude all water and grit. Spindle is of the hollow pattern for lightness and is drilled out ¼” dia. to the maximum safe depth of 1″. Both spindle and cone are of high grade tested steel, heat-treated to give maximum toughness and durability. 5/32″ dia. balls are fitted to both inside and outside bearings. The entire pedal is of first-class appearance and the weight is only 10½ ozs. per pair. An important point is that they may be fitted and removed with a standard B.S.A. pattern box spanner—a pedal spanner is not necessary. Packed in attractive boxes … 22/6 pair.

WHEELS.
This section will appeal with real energy to the enthusiasts. Now there are wheels and Wheels—these are the last word. All the wheels listed below are the result of careful attention to detail. Not built on ” Piece Work ” rates, or in spare time.

They are built in Holdsworth’s workshops, by experienced mechanics, with only one end in view, and that is—a perfect wheel.

Ask the man who rides them, and while they may have equals, as far as workmanship, materials and general finish are concerned, Holdsworth wheels can have NO superiors. Just try a pair.

Pre-war I was able to offer an almost limitless variety of wheels built up on every pattern of rim and hub on the market. Nowadays some makes of hubs such as ” Airlite,” and ” Solite ” are only available on new cycles, and this also applies to Dunlop chrome High Pressure rims.

However, I am appending prices of wheels which I can offer subject to supplies being in stock at the time of order. They are based upon ” Gnutti Airone ” hubs and they will give you a pair of high-class wheels at a reasonable price.
TOURING AND GENERAL PURPOSES WHEELS.
Dunlop Endrick rims, chrome plated 26″ × 1¼”. 64/6 pair.

WIRED-ON RACING and LIGHT TOURING WHEELS.
Dunlop alloy or ” K.P.” rims, 26″ or 27″ … 88/6 pair.

Alternatively I can offer any other hub advertised in this booklet—just add the difference in price between the hubs you select and 25/- the value of ” Gnutti Airone ” hubs.
Spokes used in the above wheels will be double-butted, rustless or stainless whichever happen to be available at the time.

NOTES RE ENAMELLING :—

As a lustre finish shows up all the imperfections in the metal of a frame, you are strongly advised to specify an enamel finish to frames which are rust-pitted or to cheap grade frames, as it tends to ” cover up ” better.

Other makers’ transfers will be fitted to frames during renovation if requested, where these are obtainable and they will be charged at net cost. The majority of the makers will supply transfers, exceptions being Hetchins and Hercules.

NOTES WHEN SENDING FRAMES :—

You need not strip off the old enamel. All accessories should be removed, and all interiors if possible. (We will remove interiors you cannot manage.)

Pad and pack adequately for transit. Send in a crate if possible otherwise fit pieces of wood or wheel spindles with locknuts between front and rear fork ends to avoid squashing.

Send at Carrier’s or Railway Company’s risk. If sent by rail, always send per passenger train—do NOT send by goods service or it will take upwards of three weeks.

Despatch to our works at the following address :—
Holdsworth’s Workshops,

138/140 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent.

Include your name and address with frame and advise despatch by post to BECKENHAM.

Frames and forks will be returned to you in approximately three weeks, per passenger train or carrier at company’s risk. A charge of 2/6 will be made to any address in Great Britain or Northern Ireland. Frames will be sent well protected or in a crate if possible. (Crates should be returned immediately per the same transport or a charge of £1 0s. 0d. will be made). In the event of any damage being sustained in transit, you should sign ” Received damaged,” notify the carriers or your Railway Station WITHIN THREE DAYS and get them to inspect.
