Re: Sale-Swap: R J Quinn 531 Frame/Forks. Chrome ends/lugs
Thanks. It's a lovely frame. The chrome is smashing. I got it a few years back and it was covered in a transparent gummy layer. Took ages to take off, but underneath the chrome was close to perfect. Paint is a bit thin and as I say has its share of touching up, but very attractive and original.
Rides very well too, always feels very quick and responsive, might be the straight-ish rake to the fork (Certainly isn't me!)
Had it built with a mish-mash of Nuovo / Super record. Hope is to transplant that onto something similar but smaller for my wife. Ideally I'd keep this for myself, but needs must!
Anyway, hope the price is about right. I love this frame so it has been influenced by being sad to see it go.

Proper photos now added.
Sorry there's tons. I just wanted to make sure it's shown in detail. And a fair and accurate impression given. I think it's very lovely, but it's not pristine. But very nice to have original chrome and paint. Rides very well, and have enjoyed greatly for the last three or four years.
Blemishes are also detailed. One patch of chrome loss to rear stay. Repainted Bottom Bracket Shell. Worst scrape shown by gear levers. Touching up of paint and scratches around seat collar. Other touch ups should be able to be spotted. Only element I can't show yet is slight bumps, under front mech where it has been overtightened or something at some point.
Any questions do not hesitate to ask.
Many thanks,
Daniel

Does that mean it meets your approval?
How about I knock a tenner off for anyone who supplies 20 pictures of Cats in similarly sultry poses? (but no cheating and going straight to Buzzfeed. My colleague is permanently on there so I WILL know)
