As always a big thank you to Mike Duffy for sending in a lovely selection of photo's, of his recently restored 1972 Harry Quinn.
Mike adds the following information and rebuild specifcation.
I have recently finished rebuilding my 1972 Harry Quinn, mostly with the original parts. To order the frame I had cycled from Wrexham to Birkenhead, took the ferry over the Mersey and arrived at Harry Quinn's shop. A vivid memory is of leaning my bike outside the shop, walking in, and being told to bring it in. I can't remember who I spoke to, but it was probably Harry Quinn as on asking for a new frame to be built I was asked what I was going to use the frame for and all the details were sorted out.Originally it was finished in royal blue but I had it resprayed around 1980 at C & G's in Liverpool.
