Harry Quinn dating and value

[531Man]

Hi Nob,
Of course, I did mention, "More details and photos will follow." so when it's completely out of its box I'll reconstruct it as it was before dismantling for couriering to me.
This was the in original advert description,
"Vintage Harry Quinn road bike for restoration. A friends dad used to race this in Cumbria, most likely in the eighties and won plenty on it. It’s a lightweight bike, guessing Reynolds tubing. Would make a great bike restored or left as a rat bike. Measures 56cm from centre of the bottom bracket to base of seat post. It’s stamped underneath and seems to read Nervex and some numbers/letters. Nice lugs on it."
So until later, bye for now.

I've just studied the BB stampings more intensely and realised those 'TT' are made from the same 1's used for the O1 to make the Q.
Figures really.
That's what he had to hand.

OK, things reinserted, tubs given a puff of air. More after this:

Last batch TT2Q :



The frame lugs are filed right down to almost nothing. Almost no edge to put the lining pale blue along.
The colour is a bit tricky - metallic fern green with panels of silver on the seat tube. The top tube and down tube may have had a later light blow over with more silver.
