Vintage Holdsworth Mistral For Sale

[AussieChick]

$1000
I inherited this Holdsworth Mistral from my father. It was in pieces but came with original receipts from 1979.
I have now completed putting it together and it looks awesome. Never ridden apart from a test ride to check gearing. So new/ vintage. Built for touring it has original Sturmey Archer 5 speed gears, 27” wheels and Brooks saddle. New parts include tyres, inner tubes, brakes, handlebar taping and reflectors.
Being in Perth, Australia, I don’t know if there is a market for this bike, but willing to ship worldwide.
Please contact me for further info.

This is a lovely bit of work and you should advertise it via this FB page - we tend to be a little east coast centric but there are several subscribers in the far west. Good luck! - https://www.facebook.com/groups/retrocyclingmarketau/

Thanks for your info. Great help and good place for me to start. Still have no idea of value, but hopefully will get an offer or two.

The site administrators will require you to put a price on it. I would suggest around $1000 Australian which equates to around 450 quid. Any thoughts others far more erudite than I may wish to offer? Good luck.

Hi,
Lovely Mistral! Can you confirm size please? Measurement from centre of bottom bracket to top of seat tube??
Many thanks

 

[AussieChick]

Sorry, not sure what you mean by bottom bracket.
It’s a 24 1/2 inch frame according to original receipt. Or 62.2 cm

 

[BJSupertourist]

Thanks. Unfortunately Im after 25 1/2". I know, doesnt sound much but...
