I also have a Dave Quinn frame, and he does indeed still run a shop http://www.thebikefactory.co.uk/ I did email him once to try and find some info on my bike, he got back to me asking for photos but never got back to me again.....

Team of the Year, Coach of the Year and Personality of the Year, A clean sweep!
-
hmmm I would not spray it, but the last owner has started to strip the frame the frame down,so random patches of stripped frame!
-
I would, but I'm Dutch anyway. :D Looks like you've got pressed-in industrial bearings there and the only option is to smack them out and then replace them - use a rubber hammer for this and smack the axle. I'd only do that if you're having problems with them though, otherwise just leave them there. What brand is the bike anyway?
It's a Batavus Flying Dutchman, trying to work out an age on it at the moment, but not getting very far.....
Single speed, coaster brake on the back.
Looks a bit like this (but now in lots of pieces!
Does anyone know if Armourtex will spray the bike with the bottom bracket still in?
-
yeah identical both sides...
would smack it out, but there looks like there are tiny lips protuding over the BB, all very strange!
-
Not sure if these are much better, but no flash..
-
struggling with a very crappy camera phone, will upload some decent photos when I can get hold of my camera
-
Hmmm risky!
Having the frame resprayed at armourtex, so guess I have to try and get it out.
-
Surely this is the way forward?!

Hi,
This is my 8 millionith question on this damn Dutch bike I am building my girlfriend for Christmas. Have just removed the cranks, and am now looking at the bottom bracket, but can't work out how the hell I am meant to remove it!
It doesn't look like a sealed cartridge or cone & cup one, and cant see anyway of getting it out, anyone got any ideas how? Perleaseeeeee??
It is 68mm wide and has France written on it....
-
The saddle above came off a 1950s dutch ladies bike, which might explain the nasty condition!
-
The one on Ebay I have my eye on is a new one (Ex Display), so looks like a pretty good deal for £40 delivered!?
-
Didn't think it was a Brooks - annoying lying Fleabay seller.
Know I should just bite the bullet and buy a new one, but i'm very tight!
Found a Black B66 on Ebay for £40 so might go for that....
-
Had no plans on giving her that saddle! She loves the look of it, so was looking to replicate it....
Was trying to push her towards a more modern and hopefully comfortable saddle
-
Have just bought my girlfriend a bike for Xmas, and it came with a pretty beaten up sprung saddle, as you can see it used to have a plate on the back of it....
My question is, is there anyway of telling if this is a Brooks? and is there anywhere that will repair it? And does it have any value?
Lots of question, but any advice is appreciated!
-
Cool, I'll have a link when it is working again!
The Cheapskate in me is tempted by either a Vittoria Randonneur or Hutchinson Quartz, anyone had experience of either of these?
-
Website appears to be down...
Any idea what price they are from there?
-
Any idea on the difference between the plain Marathons and the Marathon Plus?
-
I ordered two Schwalbe Marathon Plus 700x25c to use on my winter wheelset (or perhaps just on the rear)... now I'm just hoping they'll fit my pretty tight trackframe... :)
Thinking of following you there...
Where did you order from? trying to hunt out the cheapest price!
-
Having a bit of a nightmare puncture wise at the moment, have had three punctures in the last two weeks, one staple and two bits of glass going straight through my tyre....
At the moment I am running a Schwalbe Lugano, want to keep to a fairly tight budget (building a bike for the girlfriend for xmas is more expensive than first planned...) Have seen the Schwalbe Marathon Plus pretty cheap, and was wondering what these are like for puncture resistance? As they are a bit chunkier thought they might be a good option?
If I get another puncture on the Wandsworth road, I am going "Falling Down" on someone
