(Holdsworth) Freddie Grubb track bike c. 1957, original unrestored condition. Not a real track bike of course, this is a general purpose fixed machine, probably intended for clubmen to use over the winter. This originally belonged to my uncle who apparently got it after passing the 11+... he must have been quite a large 11 year old as this is a 21.5" frame! Plain gauge 531 and some nice components, esp. the handlebars.

From what I can glean from the dimming memories of extended family members, the frame and most of the components were bought new from Geddis cycles in Belfast (a shop I remember from 20 years ago). Most of the components are fairly standard 50's items, and most are still in good condition. The paintwork is in atrocious condition though, something that seems commonplace among Grubbs of this era.
