I picked up this frame for my wife because it was in such great / new / can't find a ding scratch etc condition then she decided she wants a betty foy.  
I don't know what it's worth or if anyone would be interested in building it up.. open for discussion I guess.  

Comes with headset, bottom bracket, stem, and rear derailur

That's great looking bike Kelly - I'd be tempted to keep it. I can't find anything about a Holdsworth Mistral with Canti brakes, but they did make touring bikes. Love the colors - like a frosty mug of A&W with the creamy head.

Nice looking frame. Looks a bit large for me or my daughter, but what is the size?  Thanks, Steve

That is a sweet frame. I had a couple of Holdsworth "Special".frames years back. The Special was the club racer frame - 73 degree angles, medium wheelbase. It' was the inspiration for the Heron.

looks like a nice size for me! I ride a 58-59. I'd also like to know the size.

Make an offer.. Trades sound interesting.

I honestly don't know.. Have more parts on the way to keep building it up.. But really have no use for it other an a really pretty bike. I have another frame to build up so parts won't go to waste.

I've been telling people 700 for the frame crank and rear derailur..bottom bracket and headset

I need wheels 700 series 36 spoke
Looking for a fancy nice sweet
Bosco bars ... Albatross ..
Two bolt seat posts
Lugged stems and seat posts

The bike fits my wife but am wanting to buy her a Betty Foy

Hi Kelly -

Can you tell us what the spacing is on the rear dropouts?

Thanks,


Corwin
