Tom,

Yes, they came with a full chrome fork. That one is correct and perfect. That's the factory frame (Holdsworthy company). I asked for one of those in 1970 but by chance my friend got for me instead an unused 1969 team frame, at a discount, one of six I believe, made at the "shop" (Holdsworth company, a separate company). It has none of the chrome but has an Italia decal and a few other differences. I think by 1970 the team were told to ride the factory made Professionals since Holdsworthy was in fact their sponsor, not Holdsworth.
