I just bought this off ebay, picked it up from Mitcham, got it back to the house and spent a bit of time making it roadworthy with some semi decent kit, then had a look at my bank balance - in the red - ahhh! gotta pay rent - bike gotta go.
So here it is, yours for £125 - plenty of pics

Rolls saddle and lights NOT included. Will throw in an old leather saddle the bike came with.
21.5 c-t Holdsworth frame and forks, it has campagnolo dropouts so I am willing to bet it's made from 531. frame straight and true, few paint chips, bit of bare metal metal showing here and there, NOT badly rusted at all.
Headset looks almost new, bb fine.
Campagnolo nuovo record rear mech and shifters.
shimano cranks
Nice Stronglight Zicral 48 ring with newish gold bolts
Sunshine LF hubs on Wolber champion gentleman rear wheel, GC chrome wheel front. both 27" wheels pretty straight. Life left in tyres.
nice weinmann calipers, ok weinmann levers with duel pivot (need to squeeze hard)
beautiful GB engraved map of UK bars and lovely GB stem VGC vintage chrome bell
that's my old Rolls saddle and IS NOT included in sale but I will include an old tatty leather one. LIGHTS NOT INCLUDED EITHER!!
Chain bit rusty but perfectly usable, 5 speed block. plastic pedals
spend £25 on a new chain and halfway decent second hand saddle and you have a really rather nice vintage bike. Perfectly rideable as it is though.
PICK UP ONLY from Stoke Newington, London - evenings. Dibs + pm
