Restoring A Classic Beauty: Holdsworth 531 Professional Vintage Bike Resurrection

#bike #cycling #roadbike #vintage #vintagebike

In this episode it’s time for some more vintage steel, and this time it’s a special one - a 1980s Holdsworth made from exquisite Reynolds 531 Professional tubing.

This bike isn’t without its problems, but I’ll be overcoming those and fitting this bike out with some of my favourite parts - Shimano 1050 105, the original Everyman groupset!
