Looking for a family heirloom Holdsworth - from East Hendred
Hi,
I wonder if anyone here can help, I am trying to trace my late father in law's Holdsworth racer. We think he sold it between 2009 and 2015 from his house in East Hendred, Oxfordshire. He was a very keen cyclist and had bought it as a young man probably in the 1960's. It would have come with some history and some decals.
On the off chance that anyone here knows where it ended up I'd be most grateful for any lead.
Kindest regards to you all.
Tom

You may have done this already, but you probably need to post on some mostly UK bicycle forums.
eg.
Edit: Would also help if you know what model it was, or have any pictures we can identify it from.
eg.
retrobike.co.uk
forum.cyclinguk.org
yacf.co.uk/forum
and there are several UK r e d d i t cycling groups.forum.cyclinguk.org
