  • It was me that got the Quinn ;)

    I hope it's as good as it looks....

    Thanks for posting that up DMCzone.

    Well done sir. You have snapped up an absolute beauty.

    As I said I have a track frame that is almost identical (red candy rather than copper) and it is just wonderful, as befits a frame made by a man many consider to be one of the greatest framebuilders that ever lived. It's far far lighter than anything made of 531 has any right to be, stiff as a board, responsive, and ridiculously pretty.

    Take a look at those head lugs - they are Prugnat long points cut and filed down to be as thin and light as possible. That used to be Terry Dolan's job :-)
    And you'll love the detail of the fastback seatstays fillet brazed in, with the seat lug filed to a completely seamless feather edge above it, and luglining going below the stays.

    Treat it properly and don't put any Shimano on it or Harry will spin in his grave.
