Holdsworth Professional – ex team?

23 inches Holdsworth Professional with Campag dropouts chrome forks 1/2 rear triangle, no braze-ons the main triangle, rivetted on metal head badge. White block Helvetica lettering with red edging (much worn). Frame number 37849. Reputed Holdsworth team bike from 1968-1971. Campag small flange hubs and Mavic Monthlery Pro rims with tubs, Campag headset, Dura Ace chainset, Shimano 600 gears, Colnago brakes (hex nut), Cinelli bars, 3TTT stem, Laprade SR seat post. Just bought it – and trying to learn more about its history.

The previous owner picked it up at a cycle jumble in 1981. Vendor at that time suggested this was Bob Addy’s 1968 Tour bike – but that’s very unlikely (Bob Addy’s size was 23.5"). This bike looks to be a factory (rather than shop) Professional – thinner seat stay wraparound, riveted head badge, Campag allen key seat bolt.

Curious forks (Shimano drop-outs when the rear drop-outs are Campag) and the eclectic group-set might suggest a DIY build by some who bought this frame-only. I’m trying to get a better date on the frame – horizontal rear brake bridge suggests this wasn’t based on the 1967/68 Mistral (curved bridge on these, I think). Full Campag equipped on team Professionals came in 1971 I believe, so might have team provenance if before then.
