Holdsworth News
As mentioned in the Eroica 2018 report, this well know South London Cycle
manufacturer has been resurrected. The new owner of the famous marque has opted to
use a mixture of modern design whilst still retaining conventional braking systems and
frame shape. Russell Downing – a well known pro-heading towards his twilight years has
been sign by the team, and was planning to ride the 160km Eroica ride on the Holdsworth
Team bike, on which Keith Lambert won the 1974 National Road Race Championship.
They’ve even managed to retrieve one the original
team cars – a bright orange Ford Cortina Mk11,
although this may not be used at future events.
Great news to hear of another British pro-team,
who were due to participate in the Tour of Britain.
