NUOVO RECORD
Realise your full potential on a Holdsworth ‘Nuovo Record’. This tight, close clearance racing frame (complete with headset) has a full range of the latest ‘braze-ons’ and with very stiff chainstays and fork-blades is ideal for maximum performance in all kinds of road events.

SPECIAL
The Holdsworth ‘Special’ is ideal for the cyclist who combines racing with general club riding. The ‘Special’ will accept mudguards with either 700C H.P.’s or ‘sprints’ and is sufficiently upright and responsive to ensure ‘personal best’ performance.

ELAN
Despite its expertly engineered construction and its superb specification which includes Reynolds 531 butted main tubes and Campagnolo dropouts, the ‘Elan’ is still a very reasonably priced frame. Suitable for all racing and club riding.

MISTRAL
The Holdsworth ‘Mistral’ frameset is designed for the dedicated tourist. The 72 degree angles coupled with a 41 1/2” wheelbase ensure comfort on long tours together with safety and controllability when descending with full touring kit. Complete with headset and alloy micro-adjusting seatpin.

LADY MISTRAL
The ‘Lady Mistral’ is a new frameset, designed and built for the girl who prefers a ‘mixte’ to the conventional diamond frame. Twin lateral stays and clever geometry ensure a frame that is rigid but comfortable and controllable under all conditions.
