Hey guy,
Just put together my 1939 Holdsworth Cyclone thougth i would share it with everyone very pleased with it so far. The bike is built around an all chrome 1939 Holdsworth cyclone it think the bars and stem were original if not bang on for the period. The very special bits are the pre war airlight hubs (very rare), pre war brooks b17, Williams C1000 chain set, BOA pedals with nice rusty toe clips its running single fixed which is they way it was shown in the original catalogue.
I still have some cosmetic work to do i am putting on the correct transfers and a few painted panels to give it a period look all of which will be aged to blend in with the rest of the bike. I am having a second set of wheels built around a small flange BSA front hub and a SA two speed fixed on the rear (TF) they will go on a set of Dunlop stainless steel rims 26 x 1 1/4.
A bike like this would have been a time trial machine so thats my plan make it look as close as possible to a TT bike of the era, still work to do!
Below is a link to some pictures.
