The Police witness appeal makes horrible reading...
RIP, rider.

Dawes Touring in Reynolds 631 with canti bosses and horizontal dropouts.
Nice project for someone.
Takes 1 1/8th forks
20" frame
I have the complete bike based around this frame - Dawes Nomad (running Alfine 11 speed).
It's a quality frame with touring geometry.

There is a user registered on Retrobike forum called lm1065, if you would go on to his posts,
http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&author_id=21674&start=70
you would see that stuff he says about HIMSELF is mostly something like: '' I agree pete matthews has a great reputation''
I was a bit shocked actually, how a grown man could act like this.
How daft you have to be ? (facepalm)Also i was told by senior riders that he states himself as best wheel builder in the WORLD(yeah sure) and bunch of other jokes about him.
I believe this is not a case of split personality but pure narcissism.
Chances are it's his son posting - pretty sure he looks after his twitter account / web site etc, but yup, it doesn't look good either way...
He does lace together a decent wheel and like you, I hear he isn't too modest about it :) That said, I also hear he's a font of knowledge and always up for a conversation.

Nice frame - does it have a serial number on the bottom bracket?
-
Condolences.
RIP. -

If it's a (made in) Liverpool Quinn, it's worth more than you're asking...

Been wondering, how's a Witcomb frame a Walvale?
This might help: http://merseysidebicycles.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/bill-whitcomb.html
Lovely frame.

A Keith Coppell in Liverpool - for those with long legs.
Keith built many a Harry Quinn frame before setting up on his own (for those who didn't know).

Got mine, lovely stuff...
-
Well if you wanna make £ 15, could you collect, pack and post it if I buy?
Of course I will cover postage.
Long shot I know.I'm in Liverpool. If I was closer to the seller, I'd gladly assist...
-
no front rack mounts, though... and pick up only from manchester, but maybe someone on here can help with that.
99.9% sure I've seen this in the flesh - it was for sale at a cycle jumble in Manchester on Saturday.
Nice frame, was tempted by it myself. However, another trader at the jumble bought it whilst I dithered...
-
I would say yes, unless you made that someone (apparently unknown to you) post it.
Please tell me you own that awful green bike!
Alas, not mine, but I wish the carpet was...

Quick question:
If someone (unknown to you) links up something you're selling on ebay, are you allowed to mention that it's yours? -
Thank all - sorted now...
-
Thanks guys - my two local LBS seem to have everything but TA's in their tool kits... In proper LBS fashion, one of them has one somewhere, but can't find it! :)
Skully - good call. Pete Mathews is still around building wheels and doing refurbs. I'll give him a shout.
Good luck Vince, looks a decent set.

Need to remove a TA crank from my Harry Quinn.
Anybody have a (23mm) remover they're never likely to use again?
Looking to buy (or borrow if you're in Liverpool).
Thanks in advance. -
Lovely frame...
-
Just onto this.
I'd like one please - any colour in medium, posting to Liverpool.
-
Any closer in pics of the pedals? The toe clips are in focus, pedals not.
-
Dibs.
Edit: and pm'd...

What's SMS? Is that the tubing? What sort of size would medium be?
SMS is a Reynolds tubing, seemed to be around in the 80's. Not quite sure of it's quality compared to 501 / 531 etc but it felt light enough rode well on my old Keith Coppell.
