New to me Harry Quinn

[biggs682]

I've got a very tatty rusty late seventies Harry Quinn frame in my attic, one of many future projects.
That's truly a very nice machine with a unique paint/lug work.

The seat tube colour scheme is the old colours of a local cycle club

Wow, that's a very nice, very high quality Harry Quinn, Good to hear you are out on your bike again.

Yes i think it must have cost a few penny's back in the day

This will help me more

Thanks. I thought it was just a bit clumsy stamping but I have since found it was repeated at the end .

Longest ride to date just completed 33.4 miles, had done a couple of shorter rides to check the set up and to get a feel for the bike.

So thought I would treat it to some Northamptonshire country side, pretty sure it knew some of the route, but either way it rode well and felt nice and was good to dance on when required.

Another 40 mile ride completed this morning on the Quinn.

Did some more minor adjustments during the week to try and get a bit more room which helped.

Had to avoid a few road's which I would normally use but the rear block is no a hill climbing one

I haven't seen many but that's the nicest Harry Quinn I've ever seen! Very nice indeed

Harry Quinn , and Harry Hall bikes were popular in my cycling club back in the day ….. 1 was a gold bike HH black decals, 1 was a red with white decals , 2 HQ s were light blue , all of them had me envious , no way I could afford them then , big excitement when the guys who bought them , the bikes arrived from Liverpool to Southern Ireland . 2 of the guys went for bike fits before the build started . Beautiful bikes for sure! I like the drill outs and the paint on the lug work . 👍
