W.F. HOLDSWORTH

FOR SIXTY YEARS, THE HOLDSWORTHY COMPANY HAS BUILT UP A FULLY JUSTIFIED REPUTATION FOR PERFECTION IN DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF BICYCLES USING TRADITIONAL METHODS OF BRITISH HAND WORKMANSHIP. EMPLOYING SKILLS HANDED DOWN THROUGH GENERATIONS, OUR CRAFTSMEN HAND BUILD THE FRAMES WHICH ARE THE VERY ESSENCE OF A HOLDSWORTH BICYCLE.

GREAT CARE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS REQUIRED TO ASSEMBLE THE FAMOUS REYNOLDS 531 OR 501 TUBING. EACH TUBE IS FULLY MITRED FOR A PERFECT FIT AND THEN SKILFULLY HANDBRAZED BY THE FRAME-BUILDERS WHO HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO GAUGE THE EXACT TEMPERATURE AT WHICH TO BRAZE, THUS GIVING THE MAXIMUM STRENGTH AT THE MAXIMUM STRESS – THE LUG POINT.

THE FRAME IS SHOTBLASTED, PHOSPHATED, BONDLERISED AGAINST RUST, HAND FETTLED, ALIGNED AND FINISHED, THEN PRE-PAINT INSPECTED BEFORE BEING EXPERTLY HAND SPRAYED IN ONE OF OUR EXCITING NEW COLOR SCHEMES AND STOVE ENAMELLED IN ONE OF THE MOST MODERN PAINT PLANTS IN BRITAIN.

BEFORE FINAL ASSEMBLY, THE DECALS ARE ACCURATELY APPLIED BY HAND TO ENSURE JUST THE RIGHT LOOK AND THEN THE FRAME IS LACQUERED TO GIVE THE FINISH WHICH IS ADMIRED WHEREVER BICYCLES ARE RIDDEN. IT IS DUE TO THIS LABORIOUS CARE AND ATTENTION THAT HOLDSWORTH BICYCLES HAVE AN ENVIABLE REPUTATION FOR LONG LIFE AND RELIABILITY.

AS WELL AS PRIDING OURSELVES IN OUR HAND BUILT METHODS OF MANUFACTURE – ROBOTS HAVE NO PLACE AT HOLDSWORTHY, WE EMPLOY A RIGOROUS PROGRAM OF QUALITY CONTROL. AT EVERY STAGE OF THE PRODUCTION, THE BICYCLE IS TESTED TO CHECK THAT IT IS UP TO OUR HIGHEST STANDARDS.

FRAME CONSTRUCTION, FRAME ALIGNMENT, HAND PAINTING AND FINAL ASSEMBLY ARE ALL CHECKED BY OUR HIGHLY TRAINED AND CONSCIENTIOUS TEAM OF QUALITY CONTROLLERS.

IT IS THIS CARE, DEDICATION AND PRIDE IN OUR WORKMANSHIP THAT HAS RESULTED IN A UNIQUE WINNING FORMULA IN BRITISH ROAD RACING – SIX GOLD MEDAL WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS IN TEN YEARS.

BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT OUR BICYCLES, WE ALSO CARE ABOUT WHO SELLS THEM. WE CAREFULLY SELECT THE STORES THAT SELL THEM, ONLY CHOOSING DEALERS WHO HAVE THE CORRECT EXPERIENCE, ABILITY TO SERVICE AND EXPERT KNOWLEDGE.

YOU CAN BE SURE THAT WHEN YOU BUY ONE OF OUR BICYCLES, YOU ARE BUYING THE BEST THAT MAN CAN MAKE – A BIKE TO GIVE YOU YEARS OF USE AND RIDING PLEASURE.

As you have seen, we take great care in the manufacture of our bicycles, and because of this we only use the finest cycle tubes in the world.

Since 1898 when Alfred Milward Reynolds produced his first butted tube set, the name Reynolds has stood for quality and superb performance throughout the cycling world. No less than 25 winners of the much esteemed Tour de France have ridden to victory on Reynolds frames, and numerous top professional and amateur cyclists, in road racing, track racing, cyclocross pursuit or light weight touring have found that Reynolds tubes give them precision manufacture, and feather light weight with real strength.

The most important part of a bicycle is the frame. If it is too rigid, you will find that your body aches, with you fighting every bend and hill climb. If it is too springy, all your strenuous pedal power will be absorbed with less forward motion benefit.

Reynolds tubes are butted together in a process which enables us to build a stronger, lighter frame.

A shaped ‘mandrel’ is placed inside the tube and is then passed through a ‘die’. The exterior of the tube is pressed onto the mandrel forcing the interior wall of the tube to take on the shape of the mandrel while leaving the outside shape of the butted part of the tube basically unaltered – apart from a reduced diameter and a locally increased internal wall thickness at the tube ends.

The increased wall thickness of the butted end means that the strength is where the most stress is. By accurate hand brazing we achieve a frame which is stronger at the joints leaving the center part of the tube thinner to optimise on weight saving.

This diagram shows how the wall thickness varies between the middle of the tube and its butted ends.

Even the smoothest road can cause problems if a frame’s front forks are too rigid. Not only is the ride uncomfortable but so much energy-absorbing vibration is caused that mileages and speeds both suffer.

That’s why front forks are curved to a carefully planned ‘rake’ which helps to give them resilience, and so smooth out the roughness of the road.

Obviously the weakest point of a fork is the brazed joint in its crown, where it meets the frame. The joint must be rigid, which means using a tube with a thick enough wall to provide the necessary strength.

A problem arises, however, when the fork is tapered away from the crown. As the diameter of the tube decreases, so the thickness of the tube wall (the ‘gauge’) increases. And that leaves you with a typical fork blade, where the top is thick enough to give rigidity, but the bottom is much thicker, killing the fork’s resilience and partly defeating the effect of the rake.

The Reynolds solution is taper-gauge fork blades.

At Holdsworthy we take a single-butted tube and use the butted end at the fork crown. Then we taper the tube. So even though the tapering process does increase the thickness of the tube wall towards the drop out end, it never becomes thicker than it is at the Butt. (See diagram).

That’s why Reynolds forks are strong and rigid at the crown, but still give you all the resilience you need.

SHIMANO

It is crucial to have the right components, and we have chosen to use Shimano for our range of sports and racing bicycles. Shimano have pioneered new technology to make great advances in bicycle componentry.

The Shimano Index System has made shifting of the derailleur bicycle faster and easier than ever before. The S.I.S. utilizes an index shift lever that is synchronized with rear derailleur movement. You shift each gear into perfect alignment with a positive “click” that you can hear and feel at the lever. The result is fast, positive adjustment free shifting.

Racers whose goal is to win races will find the Dura Ace S.I.S. on the ‘Quicksilver’ gives them more time to concentrate on pure racing and not shifting. Triathletes will find the 600 EX S.I.S. on the ‘Triathalon Classic’ or 105 S.I.S. on the ‘Hornet’ gives fast precise shifting which does not detract from rider concentration, and difficult searching for gears is now eliminated.

Enthusiast riders will find uphill shifting much easier with the L 525 S.I.S. on the ‘Blue Streak’ which means less shifting effort and safer riding.

We believe that S.I.S. allows all cyclists to ride with more enjoyment and confidence, knowing that the next gear is only a “click” away.

DURA-ACE

Shimano applied computer analysis to the biomechanics of human pedalling and discovered the ideal chainring shape for greatly rationalized use of the legs muscle power and improved pedalling efficiency. Biopace was developed to realize more efficient power transfer from the riders legs to the rear wheel.

The chain wheels’ shape has been computer designed to help vary the speed of crank rotation and eliminate the ‘dead spot’ at the bottom of the crank. Now pedalling action more closely resembles human leg movement when walking or running.

Each of our sports bicycles has a Biopace to offer more benefits to riders: lighter, more rhythmical pedalling, more efficient use of power and reduced knee strain, better circulation because leg extension is quicker and muscle contraction less severe. We believe that Biopace gives that extra edge to take hills and headwinds in your stride whilst all the time you are pedalling more efficiently.

It is our belief at Holdsworthy, that Shimano components on a Reynolds frame offer all riders the perfect balance of efficiency and reliability. Here is the opportunity to possess a bicycle with history, tradition, Reynolds tubes and modern Shimano components.

Up until now, this has been a hard package to find. We invite you to ride a Holdsworth and feel the difference.

The Quicksilver allows true competitors to win their races and this is what great bicycles are all about. The Shimano Dura Ace group set offers a state of the art components system that helps racers reach their ultimate goal … winning. The Advanced S.I.S. system ensures no more missed shifts, no more fine tuning and less time spent shifting, leaving you free to concentrate on racing. The Dura Ace brakes inspire confidence with a positive feeling of control and ease of operation – the response is so smooth, you’ll think that they are power assisted.

The pedals offer a winning design and give more cornering clearance and pedal load-handling capability. The wheel rims are Rigida with tubular tires. The frame is constructed from Reynolds 531 competition tubing which gives quick and responsive handling when you need it … racing.

All things considered, you are riding a winner with the Holdsworth Quicksilver.
