Harry Quinn: Rare, Retro MTB Frame - 17in + Project 2 Fork | eBay

Unusual and pretty rare tubing. Final pic to give you an idea of what it looks like built up. Shimano DX headset and BB, both in good working order, and classic Kona P2 forks.

Looks nice

If that was a shade bigger I’d have it. Looks fab!

It was mine. Sold it a couple of years back to the seller, as the complete bike pictured. A really nice bloke he was as well! From memory it was more like an 18” to ride.

The paint is actually a very dark brown with copper fleck. It does look cool. I’ll be interested to see what it goes for

How did the bike ride?

How did the bike ride?

It was a bit like my Yates, quite long, typical bum up and head down sort of riding. The Aelle tubing isn’t lightweight though…

if it had been a shade bigger I probably would have kept it longer. It was a lovely looking thing

Defo not for me then..
I've an airborne Lancaster for "being on the rack "so to speak.

Harry Quinn was based in Wales at this time but it has a Made in England sticker. Prob means nothing but ...
I wonder what the frame number is?

Don't remember if it had a serial to be honest!

Here's a little build thread that I started. It shows the paint work a little better than the Ebay post. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/early-90s-harry-quinn.373738/

Would be nice to see it rebuilt on here again
