Hi!

I recently acquired this frameset in hope of some proper fit to my needs.

As it appears it was made by the two brothers R & J Quinn - but I can't find much information led alone some sort of advert or catalogue of their work.
As I don't actually have the set in my possession yet, I can't provide more details such as a frame number. Still, from the looks of it, I assume it was made in the 1950s.

What you think?

Cheers,
Nora

Its a funny one. Fork rake and the oiler on the BB suggest mid/late 50s but the campagnolo ends, I think, are later. Google R&J Quinn / Quinn Brothers Cycles Liverpool and you should be able to piece some information together.

Thanks.

I got some more info from the seller:

Spacing is 95 to 122mm; and the dropouts (again f&r) are Agrati apparently...

I'll provide more specs when it's finally here.

The derailleur hanger might have been chopped off at some point - at least the DS dropout looks a bit like it.
