Some of the components look nice but I wouldn’t pay that much for a converted road bike of that age

The saddle actually looks neat. But no, not even close. You could buy an actual bike that’s meant to be fixed gear for $270

Brooks saddle new are worth that much

I think $270 is a decent price. But I’d come in swinging at $200 and see if they don’t meet you in the middle

I wouldn’t trust someone else’s handy work on a converted set up for that price. That bike is worth 100 bucks.

Haters will say that fixed gear conversions are bad but I think they’re better than virtually any “fixie” out on the market right now. Looks like it has nice long comfortable chainstays and subsequently pretty good tire clearance. I don’t know much about Holdsworth but I know they have a decent pedigree. If it fits you I say send it!

Maybe, if you like all those parts and don’t plan on replacing anything. If you’re going to swap a bunch of components, not really worth it.

It has great dropout for a conversion frame. And the build is really classy I would totally buy it bro. That patina on the saddle is so good

Stay away from conversions unless you’re building them yourself as an only option.

I’d hold. Not even a fixed gear frame. Just my opinion.
