So I've just got a '50 Holdsworth Tornado.......Its been resprayed a blue and cream colour. The paint looks pretty good together and will look good in the summer. I will eventually be getting it resprayed an original colour.
So the serial number on the frame is 11184, the frame and forks match.
It also has Chater Lea stamped in the rear drop outs, pretty sweet.
Has anyone got any thoughts or little gems about these frames, can anyone confirm the date?
I need to build it up asap.
I'm after some 50's period parts....anyone tell me what parts they think should go on...
Anything Chater Lea.....crank, chainring(inch pitch), headset, pedals.
Wooden Rims
Something like Harden Hubs
Bars & Stem...?
Anyone got any ideas...parts......or secret supply...
Would appreciate your thoughts.
Also can anyone tell me what BB would go in these, size wise?
