I assume that's 700c rear, 650c front?

I'll be interested if you're alright to post - UK address, £110?

Campy headset for threaded forks. Taken off my Harry Quinn, so will be English thread. I've changed it to a C-Record in order for it to be period correct, but this Chorus headset weighs in a fair bit lighter, at 109g. Was smooth on the bike, and I can't see any evidence of brinelling.
A lovely smooth headset, in very good shape.

Evening.
I'm after either a 650c front wheel, or a complete lo-pro wheelset.
I'd like deep aero rims (silver or black), tri-spokes or the like, or discs, if I can afford it. Clinchers would be nice.The build is for a for a early 90s TT.
Anybody got owt?

That Quinn is more than likely a Clements-era Quinn. Not the real deal. Ask for the frame number before committing to travel.

Bars and stem sold subject to payment
For the White Quinn - C-C is about 56-57, and T-T is 56cm. Tubing isn't marked, but I believe to be Tange. Mudguard eyelets front and rear.

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.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/44483701@N05/6473094965/Brick Lane Bikes Riser bars. As pictured without stem, £15.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/44483701@N05/6473095227/White Charge Saddle. Has a small tear on the back. £12.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/44483701@N05/6473094689/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.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/44483701@N05/6473094399/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.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/44483701@N05/6473096087/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.

I've got a blue frame around that size that I might sell - it's probably from the mid-seventies, has the correct Q number indicating a Walton Road build, original forks and has a mavic bottom bracket. I think it could do with a respray, but as it is, it's original and has patina. The underside of the top bar could do with sorting though. I'm in the midlands. Would look for £100.
This one, on the wikipedia page:

Second dibs on the first two pairs, should the other two not take them up.

Hello Cip
I don't think I can justify another Quinn at the moment - I'm trying to save myself for the very unlikely prospect that a 753 Centenary one will come up.
However, have you got any history on this frame? I was under the impression that they were still scouse frames until about 1980, and he only started building himself again around 82, in South Wales. The scouse frames tended to have a Qxxxx number, going up to around Q5xxx when HQ left. The Welsh ones tended to have a Qxxx number. My red Quinn is Q1462 and was built in the early 60s. Have you read the number wrong, perchance?
How reliable the numbering system is for gathering dates and locations though, I'm not too sure!
Regards

Did you ever build it up, BlueQuinn?
Frank Clements royally raped Harry with that stunt - the idea was to continue the line of master framebuilders when Harry retired, but Frank went for the quick buck. I've got a Clements/Quinn in the basement, and it's truely dire.

I'd be interested in the cranks. Will be in London on Tuesday if they're still available.
