I think the stem is most likely seized, having been exposed to the outdoors for longer than I'd like to say... So fork serial is unlikely.
Sadly rhere is no frame number, the picture of bellow the BB shows nothing, which makes me think it's a custom
This is the only other BB photo that was sent to me, would a Holdsworth serial have been visible from this angle @dwscrimshaw

An orange Holdsworth is not uncommon, particularly if its had a re-spray, but I have not seen a genuine Holdsworth with the hart shaped windows. They did use windows on a few frames, but not this style. Unfortunately many other firms did, Roy Thame in particular who ran the Holdsworth shop.
As for the number I think you are going to have to remove some of the paint. Holdsworth 5D numbers would be across the middle of the BB or around the edge, both under the BB. the 6D numbers always start with a zero and are typically higher up the BB on the drive side. There are exception to both at times where these positions were interchanged, but it will be one of these. You should see the numbers below the BB on your first photo and the typical 6D is under the black in the last. As you look at it is should be just above the rear gear cable guide where the DT joins the BB. The stamping can be quite poor and get cover in paint particularly if its been resprayed. I have attached a photo of a similar hunt for a number which is also listed further back in this thread.

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on the maker of this frame I have as a travel bike - while it’s stripped ....
an X8 on the (British threaded ) bb and serial number starts in a Y .....no wording on rear drop outs ...fairly weighty-ish but nice seat stays and odd crimped brake bridge ... ? Cheers ... -
Hello, can anyone help me out - is this a fuji feather with the seatpost decal removed? cheers.

Track frame, looks like a repray on one of those cheapo bianch pistas, any thoughts? Double checking before I get rid of it.

Nope...

Anyone have any idea what this frame is? Bought recently but the guy I bought it from didn’t build the bike and had no idea.
Has wishbone rear stays and the top and down tube has a distinctive ridge.
Thinking maybe planetX due to the weave of the carbon or one of those Chinese carbon frames? But I can’t find anything similar.

Looks reminiscent of an early Isaac.

Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

I think the lug work, with those windows, and the style of TT cable eyes are wrong for a holdsworth. Very few models had windows. Can't see any frame number on the picture, can you get a better view. from 1976 Holdsworth change from 5 digits to 6 and the location moved to typically to further up the drive side of the BB.
