Vintage Holdsworth Professional Road Bike, sold in excellent preowned condition
The bike has been fully stripped, cleaned and serviced
Condition:
This is a well-preserved example of a classic racing machine. The frame is straight, components are in good condition, and the bike remains fully rideable. As with all vintage bikes, some cosmetic wear is expected, but overall this is a clean and collectible Holdsworth that’s ready for the road or display.
A true classic from the golden era of British cycling. Built with legendary Reynolds 531 steel tubing, this model was Holdsworth’s top-tier racing frame of the early 1980s – lightweight, responsive, and built for speed.
This example comes fully equipped with a quality mix of Campagnolo, Cinelli, 3T, and Shimano components, making it both a collector’s piece and a rideable retro road bike. Perfect for vintage bike enthusiasts, Eroica events, or anyone who appreciates the craftsmanship of classic steel.
