ABANDONED RUSTY HOLDSWORTH GIVEN A NEW LIFE...

This 4-speed Holdsworth hybrid was chucked out in the street. 2 flat tyres, rusty, missing parts - the usual. It caught my eye however as I've always liked the curved tubes of the frame (same as Halfords' Real Cafe bike and some other cheap branded town bikes). It's a nothing-fancy steel frame but does have a pretty cool geometry - almost a sporty-cruiser look.

Anyway, it was stripped down, painted and rebadged into a fresh Rebirth model. Done with spray cans so I knew the finished piece would never be perfect but I'm satisfied with the results. Plan to build it up into a fat-tyre-beach-cruiser-hybrid type thing...should be interesting.
