I purchased a frameset a few months back, sight-unseen, being told it was a 1960's Holdsworth track frame. Well, I am having my doubts about this, particularly the 1960's vintage. First off, the bike is a time trial frame, with mudguard eyes and drilling for a front brake in the fork crown. The lugs are a bit reminiscent of some 1950's Holdsworth patterns that I've seen on Norman Kilgariff's Holdsworth site, but not exact. I've run these photos by Norman and he's unsure, but leaning towards the frame NOT being a Holdsworth. Bob Reid, who has the Flying Scot site, has been kind enough to post a few pics for fellow CR members to view, so this link is listed below. Richard Sachs was kind enough to point out the Gargette bottom bracket w/grease port. What about those rear dropouts? Also, the bottom bracket is stamped "3258 H", with the "H" looking like two numeral "1"s side by side, with a cross bar stamped between. Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your help.
