Holdsworth Townie – Reynolds 501 steel – $1450
BikesClassic lines, timeless ride quality — rebuilt for everyday duty.
This 90s-era Holdsworth frame was handbuilt in London using Reynolds 501 butted cromoly tubing and now rolls out of Pedal Cyclery fully refreshed and repurposed. It’s a sharp, comfortable townie that carries vintage charm without sacrificing daily reliability.
We’ve handbuilt the wheels in-house with smooth-spinning vintage SR hubs laced to Weinmann 913 double-wall alloy rims — light, strong, and practical. The drivetrain features a dependable mix of Shimano 105 cranks, RX100 shifters and derailleur, and vintage Shimano 600 brake calipers for plenty of controlled stopping power.
Finished with a Wald 1372 front basket, Schwalbe Marathon Racer 700×30 tyres, and classic steel vibes throughout.
