Holdsworth Silver Jubilee 1977 Vintage racer / road bike
Reynolds 531 frame tubing
Reynolds 531 fork blades
SR Sakae World Custom Bars
Can't see a make on the brake levers other than PAT.APP 8422511
Brakes are Weinmann Vainqueur 610
Stem just says GB on it
Shifters are SunTour Power
Front derailleur is SunTour Cyclone
Rear derailleur is a SunTour Vx
Rear cassette is a 5 speed block
Cranks are SR Sakae Apex with SR Sakae chainrings
Wheels are Campagnolo hubs onto Super Champion rims
New chain fitted, but the original is still here if wanted

Bike is obviously used and there is surface rust on the bike with some touching up and cranking in the tyres, but I've pumped them up and ridden round the village and it rides really nice.

I was going to strip this down and build it up as a fixie, but friends said that I shouldn't as someone may want to fully restore it.

It's a 57cm top tube with a 62cm seat tube and is set for me at 5'10 in the picture

Collection from Countesthorpe, South Leicester.

Price wise I'm unsure so I'll put £155 and see where we go from there

@biggs682 you are probably the best person to ask what a reasonable price would be for this. What do you think?

Are you sure those measurements are right ?

I think its a fair price and i could be tempted but with all my recent purchases i dont really need any more

@Tony Raynor what do you reckon ?

That's the 25.5" frame.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Looks like a 25" frame to me....dammit to big for me :-(((

 

[raleighnut]

I'd have it but I've got one that big,

 

[broady]

The measurements were very much rushed as it was starting to rain.
I'll give it a week or so and if nobody is interested I'll go with my original plan and convert it to a single speed I think.
At 5'10 I am only just tall enough to stand over the top tube though

Very nice........................

 

[broady]

£135 tempting anyone?

 

[raleighnut]

Stick it on the 'bay' with the magic word 'L'eroica' in the description?

 

[broady]

I may end up doing that @raleighnut
But then I think I might keep it (way too nice as a commuter where it'll be left in not so nice areas) or just convert it to a fixie and box up all the original stuff.
I know if I keep it then it won't get used much which is a real shame

i have bikes that have not been ridden yet in 2017 so dont worry about how much use they get , even if they go out only twice a year it wont mind you know

I need to clear the garage out so everything has its place tbh @biggs682 and then it might go in the keep pile.
I need to sort out some other bits to sell and then buy some new tyres for it first off.
I personally don't like keeping bikes that aren't being used (unless sentimental), so will see if I use it once new tyres are brought

 

[broady]

Dropping the price again to a real bargain of £115!!
I'm going to order some tyres after the weekend and withdraw from sale once the tyres arrive if it doesn't sell by then.

Anyone fancy it?

Can you double check the measurements? The saddle looks very high for someone 5'10" on a 25" frame. I am 6'4" so 25" should be ok, but then I doubt it would be ok for you at 5'10".
