thats a lovely lil bike there mr quinn.

@skully thanks for that. i was considering TA only because they were the only huge ones i had seen around. i'll email the seller and find out what the bcd is on this one.

Yep, won it. Not cheaply, but not overly expensive for what it is. I am so happy right now.

New username time?

CherryRedQuinn.
TwoQuinns. (well 3 actually but I'm going to sell the other red frame.)

The blue Quinn is now destined to return to being a tourer. I see a Sturmey 8 speed hub in its future.

Oh yeah, what is it with that bloody horrible Cinelli glamourflage bar tape? My Steve Goff had that on the bars as well. What did the poor bike do to deserve that?

Here, here [sic].

Congratulations I was interested in that but it was way to small for me.

huh? well does is still have track threads? imma donna get it

you`ll need to buy a track axle from hed for £25 and step converter if you want a good chainline for around £30 off ebay. I wouldnt trust a allen key skewer wheel will just pull over with pressure.

thanks, i'm watching that at the moment as my missus' raleigh appear to be weakened near the seat tube sadly.

this appear to be the perfect replacement (and restoration once I get a closer inspection), and at 20' it'll fit her better than her current bike!

My girlfriend wanted that- be prepared to defend the Red Quinn at South East beers.

Fenella has just nipped out to buy an angle-grinder.

Is it her fault it cost me so damn much?

i was after that quinn aswell pipped in the last dying seconds. oh well

Perhaps I shoulda called dibs and got it for less?

I'm new to fixed.. is a paddy wagon a decent frame to start with as i intend to strip down and rebuild???

If its in good nick I'd say thats probably a solid buy for the money. Ready for winter too. The only point stripping and rebuilding it would be for maintenance and education. If you want to spend money upgrading all the parts, there are better frames out there.

I want to build it for educational purposes, to be able to build and repair my own bike and source new parts etc..ooh and obviously ride it too. I would prefer just Frame and forks for around 100 can anyone suggest anything

or is that too cheap for a starting frame??

don't worry about painting it then.
spend cash on bits.

Unlikely that £100 frame and £100 on parts will get you anything technically "better" than a paddywagon. So its a choice between whether you want something ready to roll, which you can gradually mess about with / upgrade, or whether you've got the time and budget to undertake a proper personal build. I can highly recommend the latter but I bet you will end up spending more than £200!
