With the frame you have the easy bit done.


Not an oil port for the bottom bracket, but a grease nipple

and get one for the head tube as well.


My standard reference book for the period is the 1952 Brown Brothers catalogue, which should be checked against the 1954 Holdsworth Aids catalogue for any later components

Why do you say "semi-period correct build"? Why not full period components?
