They look very much like my size as well. Fortunately or otherwise they're a long way away.

The seller's also listing a good-looking mountain bike:

Very likely a Woodrup, a few builders in the 70's used the rather unappealing chamfer/ mitred seat stay treatment... even Holdsworth with the 531 Special.

Number was a bit odd but Woodrup did use a 4 number code at one time. I wonder which other builder used an ugly stick on the seat cluster lol

A lot of the "Harry Quinn" bikes that appear these days are from the time when the name was farmed out to Miki of Japan, and they're clunky bedsteads. You need to know the serial number to tell if it's a real Quinn - there are details of serial number formats at http://classicrendezvous.com/British_isles/Harry_Quinn/HQuinn_registry.htm

There was also a period when the business was owned by Frank Clements (brother of Ernie) and Falcon bikes were sold rebadged as Harry Quinn.

It's a "bedstead", but a £90 "bedstead".
