Hi, I'm usually a lurker here - I spend more time on the retrobike forums, but I thought I'd post these here as I'll be in South London on Sunday evening, and these are generally SS-specific. As such, these are for pickup in Camberwell or Beckenham this Sunday evening. Any dibs to be followed by PM and mobile number to arrange meet.
I'm going to pick up a Harry Quinn, and I'm looking to replace most of the parts that are on it.
Miche Primato single-speed crankset. About a year old and a bit of scuffing, but in good condition. £50.

Now, I'm posting these frames up, but I'm not convinced I'll sell them when it comes to the crunch. They're in my basement at the moment, and they're getting damp. The plan was to give them a quick clean and sell the frames, but the wife has now suggested putting some money into damp-proofing the basement and making it into a workshop. She's very understanding.
Red Quinn was built on 3rd April 1967. Nervex lugged, 531 DB tubes. Very, very light. Any Quinn built before 1972 was built by the man himself. The BB shell has had a repair and the forks are not original - this was built for a Canadian originally, and as such has 27" clearances on the back, although I've only ran 700cs. The fork is not original and is 700c. Tight clearances. £150. High price is me talking myself out of a sale. 21" I think. Happy to keep this and the Blue Quinn, and I probably will.

Blue Quinn was built 21st March 1975. In original livery, looks better in the picture, could do with a spruce up.531 DB. 22" I think. It's the one on the Wikipedia article. This has a Mavic bottom bracket which makes me think the threads might be damaged. The paint on this is original. £150, again, to talk me out of a sale.

White Quinn - I believe she was built in 1982. This is one of the Clement Quinns, no doubt about it. Originally sold by Gerry Sheilds of Manchester. Not of the quality of Harry's work. £40.
