Interesting frame, the half chamfered and pointy ends to the seat and chain stays are very 70's Holdsworth..

It popped up under 'bikes' in my local search, not 'frames'.

well its a Woodrup

"Kevin Sayles Most definately a Woodrup. It has our signature 'chunky' seat stay top treatment we called DH tops after the late former UK Pro champion Danny Horton. and yes we used to crimp the stay tips that way when the tubing wasn't heat treated. I'd say mid to late 70s "

From memory I remember the chunky seat stay cluster from their track frames as was the style back then for a stiff rear end lol

Road frames too

Now that's a beauty, is that a good price or is he asking a bit over the odds there? I see he'll take an offer (I'm not gonna nick this from you Sean, just academic interest )

I've never noticed how the ends differ so much, so I spent a fair few minutes looking at other frames

Nice Falcon for sure and rare nowadays, not bidding just watching as I have a few pot boilers. At the upper end of the price bracket.

Frame details are fascinating, Here's a Holdsworth Special seat cluster, quite like the Woodrup but not the same..

Yeh via good ol' Facebook he has been really helpful about R.E.W Reynolds as it seems Woodrup built quite a few for them over the years .
