What a beautiful Holdsworth Cyclone De Luxe, with what appears to be bi-laminate lugs, and excellent craftsmanship. The sad thing is that the toptube is rusted out, and that was found after the repaint was striped and little tiny holes became visible under closer inspection. To replace the top is quite a task, one that would probably ruin the lugs, so new ones would have to be fabricated.
This Cyclone De Luxe was the top of the line model during it’s short life(from 1948-1951).
