THE AUTOGRAPH 1975-78

Launched in late in 1974 the Autograph was built with Reynolds tubing and bore decals celebrating Keith Lambert victory in the 1974 BRRC for the Holdsworth Campagnolo (HC) team. It was shown at the 1975 Harrogate show.

Built with Prugnat short type D55 Spearpoint lugs and crown same as the Equipe this could be the same bike in a distinctly different livery.

The Autograph continued celebrating other HC riders. Keith Lambert won the BRRC in 1974, Les West in 1975, Geoff Wiles in 1976 and Phil Corley in 1978.
