I used to have a Holdsworth Professional back in the day. I was only 18 years old (now 60), so it was second hand. Team orange with blue decals if I remember 🙂.
In this case, i think that housing line would be better, if right brake lever was for rear, and left for front caliper. Not always, just sayin for this case. Great build, non the less! Which bb did you use for this build?
Thanks very much!! Yeah continental lever set up might make a difference I suppose - although I’m not sure I would want to ride it that way 🙂 I always tend to use the YST threadless bottom brackets, they’re cheap enough and great quality - all the sizes you could need too
NOT a real Pro, they were all Orange with Kingfisher blue panels and wrap-over seat stays ! This is just the copy-cat crap that they made in the 1980's.
Not correct, I currently own a 1972 Pro and it is the orange but with white lettering, no blue at all. Actually this very bike finished second in the 1975 Tour of Somerville, unfortunately not with me on it.

That was the classic timeless colour way - orange and blue!

Thanks JC
Well done on another bike saved. It did seem that the thunder started when you chose white cable outer, could be an ominous sign?
I hadn’t realised!! Clearly I’ve angered the bike gods with my choice 😁

Don’t think I’d ever call anything made from Reynolds 531 professional tubing “crap” - especially not a bike that rides this well…
