Very sad. RIP LEE's bike.
My old Holdsworth Mistral (1981 - 1989)* only lasted 8 years, but for that time it was my commuter, weekend bike, tourer in the Western Highlands, Germany and all over Ireland, and I rode my first 400s and 600 on it. It met a similar fate to LEE's when I moved house in 1994, but I couldn't bear to see it go completely, so I saved a bit for posterity. I've still got it.
* I know it was 1981 because I built the bike up on the Sunday afternoon of the Edgbaston test (Australia 121 all out, I. T. Botham 5 for 11), and I know it met its demise in 1989 because when I found the terminal crack in the frame I had to press a different less suitable bike into service for my first crack at the Chepstow-Anglesey-Chepstow (as the BCM was known) and then the LEL.
