Harry Quinn frame

[ren531]

Hi, you say stays brazed directly to the seat tube.
I'm no expert, but isn't that a seat to top tube frame lug that is designed for shot in fastback style seatstays to be brazed to it,
not to the seat tube itself?
I think you can see the seat tube goes into the lug, and so do the stays.
Only saying it may be - I'm sure there are others who can confirm my suspicions or shoot me down in flames.

Just my rough description of it really, I probably know less about frames than yourself .

Harry didn't always use tubing decals. My mid-1970s frame had none on its original finish, but was very light when weighed.

I also have Q2388, a track frame, which is believed to be 1969, so yours probably is too. The rear end will have been stretched in the 1990s to get an 8 speed in.

They generally ride superbly, although geometry can be unorthodox.

That's interesting, so it may be older than I thought.

Ha hah, very kind of you, but apparently not.
Please see @fossyant reply above, #14.
It's good to live and learn.
