Latest Arrival Dave Quinn Pics now added

[biggs682]

just picked up this Dave Quinn looks like it was originally on 27" by the amount of clearance but who knows , gearing is a rather close ratio 6 speed old fashioned block .

First job will be to get rid of the modern stem and then a quick once over with some new cables and brake padsand grease and away we go .

I'm on my phone so can't really see the pic too well but is that a big fat padded seat ? Why did they do that in the old days

Looks very pretty. Lose the saddle and the ugly stem, add biggs682 TLC and she'll be a treat for somebody.

(btw - The Holdsworth now has genuine early 80s Radonneur drop bars but with Modern Cane Creek levers ... looking great!).
