...Cycling accessories booklet 1938


This pre-war booklet issued by the cycle manufacturer Holdsworth to its suppliers contains an eighty page array of cycling gear, with prices, in pre-decimal currency of course.



From clothing to bicycle parts, it is a comprehensive list of accessories available to the cyclist of that era, whether a racing biker or a casual tourer.


There were no plastics at the time, other than bakelite, so the items are mostly fabricated from metal, fabric, glass and leathers.


As an aid to happy cycling, please place your order now for an anti-rattle feeding bottle carrier.
