Hi there folks, I've just joined the list properly after having submited an unauthorised posting when I linked in from the home page. From that contact I've allready been in touch with Clive in Sydney and Nelson in Seattle, so hi again guys and thanks for your thoughts. I'm totally new to this scene, having recently been given a mid/late '70's Holdsworth, and wanting to find out some stuff about it. It seems to have some ok parts on it;Zeus cranks,bb and read mech, and Lambert hubs(are they American). It is a sort of purple colour with cream panels and is built from reynolds 531. can anyone give me some help on age,model and what parts it should actually have. I've not ridden it yet as it's got a punctured tub that I have no idea how to fix, I also am confused as to how to figure out it's wheel size (27", 700c or even 650c), do I measure across the diameter. I've been watching how the list works and what you all talk about and it seems that it takes a lot of knowledge of classic bikes to know what is going on, but obsession is obsession so I'm sure I'll soon pick it up. Any tips on good sites to visit or books to get hold of to learn more. Hope to hear from some of you soon , bye for now. Gerry " yet to find himself a quirky mid-name catchphrase" Burke.
