Re: Fillet brazed 531 goodness
Not far off the colour of this T.J Quick tandem I get to see occasionally. Never seen an MTB by them either Adrian, it's super cool.

Re:
Thanks gents. Do you know much about him Roly? The forum member on here is Tom's brother-in-law and says he has made contact with the person who bought the business from Tom and still has his old order book. Not heard back from him yet though. He says Tom isn't very helpful - typical retired frame builder from the sounds of it

Re: Re:
I'm still hopeful of a reply from Tom's brother in law. If that doesn't turn up any info I might have to ask the roadies
While it's not as well known as Roberts, Yates and Lloyds etc, it looks like it might be a nice addition to the fleet.

Re:
I think Neil from Condor Might also have done his apprentieceship with TJQuick.
Does the Badge Say Forest Hill...? I cant see it, if so, Tom Quick was based in south London with a small shop (no longer trading), building a lot of track and road bikes..? If so a great reputation and following in certain circles.
Its all I can come up with im afraid..
Despite not perhaps being as well known as Roberts I see no reason why the quality wont be on par.
Great find..

Re:
Just a thought, I wonder if it is the same Tom Quick that was responsible for handbuilding the Holdsworth Strada frames in the early 70s.............?
If so, and memory serves me right, he built his first frame on his own in a shed and took along to be checked and they gave him a job, and the rest as they say is history...
Although I would love to hear more, he would be pushing what 90ish now, and there must be a hell of a story there...?

Re:
What a beauty! It looks like the top tube is quite "radically" sloping for a machine that age. It's going to look great, why not go for xt m730/732. Frame seems deserving of it, I know it will be expensive and time consuming to put together though.
