So has has the Look arrived ?

Not yet Mr B. its proving to be a bit of a drawn out operation. I am in contact with the seller by email and although we have agreed the price and he seems very pleased, l still haven't had an invoice However from his replies l know that he is young and French and that his girlfriend is about to leave on month long trip so he is a bit "distracted" to put it politely.
He did drop me a line saying that he was grateful for my patience so lm not worried but l will be happy when the bike is in the workshop !!

That’s a beauty and my size too. Added to the watch list, but I guess it will go for a fairly hefty price.

 

[SkipdiverJohn]

Too big for most riders, may not go for as much as you think. A bike you can't actually ride isn't much use no matter how nice it is. Most potential buyers will take one look at that frame size and move on to something else.

The Bob Donnington bike looks interesting. Surfing the web it appears he was the manager of the Holdsworth shop in Penge. See 1980
http://www.nkilgariff.com/Holdsworth.htm
http://theflyingwheel.blogspot.com/2016/

Dave Clark was the master builder in the holdsworth factory special model shop, also in Penge. Where all the special and one off bikes were made. See link https://lcc.org.uk/articles/roberts-cycles

So in the old tradition of shop built bikes and possibly made by a Master builder, wonder how many where made?
Assuming it’s the same Dave Clark of course, but seems to fit?
