Greg, was the Team Holdsworth originally Zeus? I dearly love Zeus myself and have several bikes all or partial Zeus 2000. I also have a team issue Holdsworth frame (reputedly actually used by a prominant team member). However, in the era when these frames were built, Holdsworthy was the primary UK importer of Campagnolo, so needless to say, the bikes actually ridden by the Holdsworth team were all Campy. I love to use alternates to Campy, but I have concluded that, for this frame, only all Campy is correct.
