For Sale: 1978 Harry Quinn Frame

I have owned this from new. I bought it custom built when I was 16 and built by Terry Dolan. I paid £99 for the frame and built it up with a mixture of Campag Record and Dura Ace bits. (For sale on a separate post)

Frame details: 22" (56cm) seat tube and a 21" (53.5cm) tope tube. Frame angles are a bit more difficult to measure but seem to recall 73/73. The paint is not in particularly good condition. more importantly though the original head badge and paint work on the head tube is unmarked. It was always my intention to get the frame re-spayed in pearl white, keeping the ruby paintwork and head badge. The frame number is Q 4596. See link

Genuine Quinn frames built in Liverpool were marked with an O and a 1 to make the letter Q.

I'm not very good at letting go of my past, but can put the funds raised towards a nice pair of Fast Forward track wheels.

I am asking what I paid for it in 1978 - £99.00

I can post this and estimate this to be around £20-£25 within the UK. Outside the UK contact me first. Though I'd prefer you to view the frame before buying, I am 5 mins from J3 of M25 or I can meet you by arrangement at Herne Hill Velodrome most Wednesday evenings and Sat / Sun mornings, providing its not raining

The bike comes with the Campag headset (not Record) and excludes the bottom bracket as this is part of the chainset for sale on my other advert, titled Vintage Campag bits

£99 - Great deal!

Id want more than £99 for that.

It's worth at least twice that.

Can't resist this - it's gorgeous and my size. Dibs and will PM.
If I get this I'll reduce the two frames I'm currently selling in another post.

2nd dibs if this falls through! (unlikely)

hmm, 3rd? Please pull out guys!

Off to deliver frame to Dominic. 2nd and 3rd Dibs; your hopes are fading!

quite relieved to be honest - i didn't need it! ;)

Hold on a fucking minutes.

53.5cm top tube?? are you serious?

FUCK.

and i thought t-rexes could move fast

My custom frame from Oak Cycles measure out to be;

57x53.

That Harry Quinn is PERFECT.

Oh blimey, here I am bemoaning the sad demise of my Pogliaghi frame (crack round the top of the down tube) and here's a Quinn just like the one I had between 1987 and 1995 when it was totalled by a West Wimbledon driver. I know it's a stupidly long shot, but if the three other dibsers don't buy, I'll have this!

I sent you a pm yesterday and no reply so just wondering if its been sold? (fingers crossed)
