The Mistral appears in Holdsworth's catalogues from 1976 to 1983. In 1976 it had a Reynolds 531 double-butted frame with Campagnolo Nuovo Record gears. The 1982 catalogue lists it as a touring frameset with 72° angles and a 41½in wheelbase, also sold complete with SunTour Cyclone 2 gears, and adds a Lady Mistral; in 1983 both were built in Reynolds 531 SL.
