Harry Quinn Anniversary Bike Part II..........

[smokeysmoo]

This guy clearly still believes his valuation of this bike, it's been re-listed HERE
Still starting bid of £8000!!!!!! Still same $hite photos and minimal description.

I wonder how he's arrived at such an astronomical starting price? I'd love to know what he paid for it in 1991.

Anyone think he'll get his money?

Not a chance, it looks a lovely bike, and Harry Quinn built nice frames, but £8,000 !!!!

8 Grand for a bike that is unlikely ever to be ridden

.

It looks lovely but if you buy a bike like this where would you ride it to keep it in the showroom condition it is in now. I suppose you could keep it for the next centenary lap (2103)

Well no one sensible will, but anyone with a hard on for old H.Quinn bikes might....

Sadly this bike failed to sell once again. I emailed the guy to ask if the decimal point was in the wrong place, never heard from him, strange that

Nice bike but in No; 4 photo its got no chain. P.S. Still watching the bike hire business.

As a fairly recent handbuilt frame it's certainly worth the value of the bit's and the man hours gone into it.

He could try asking for the same money as a mint conditon pimpy Mercian or similar but eight grand is simply cloud-cuckoo land.

I know this thread is years old, but I had to add my two pence.

I was at Harry Quinns place when these were being built, I was doing a cycle frame building course there. The price I was quoted £1500, and I did see one on ebay recently for £4000.

I was on a Harry Quinn bike frame building course when the Harry Quinn Centenary bike was being released, if it is the frame that is black frame with 22 gold carat plating instead of chrome as that is how I rememeber it. The frame set back then was £1500, just for the frame and forks, there was a custom campagnolo groupset that went with it and no idea how much extra that was but it was gorgeous. Sadly I was talked out of buying the frameset at the time
