Harry Quinn?

[Galli]

I bought this HQ a few weeks ago and would appreciate some info from anyone who knows about them.

So the bike has been tastefully (imo! ) restored by myself. I'm uncertain about its provenance since there is no Q number in the BB. Serial number is 3233 which appears on the rear dropout (drive-side). It has simplex dropouts (unusual for a HQ?), nervex lugs, reynolds 531 double - butted tubes, regina freewheel, GB bars, brakes, Campy seat post - from what I can gather, all other parts have been replaced by myself and the previous owner.

Paint work is exceptional - C&G finishes? It has the Walton Rd. Decal.

Your thoughts on this bicycle are appreciated!

Lovely - really great colour scheme. Here's a registry of HQ frame numbers including a few listed without the q.

Pleasant. Very pleasant.

Classic. Tasteful. I like!

Made when they not only painted frames but put some thought and effort into it and took pride in the result. As opposed to now where they get the apprentice to chuck a can of matt black over it from across the room.

You can't go wrong with Red and pale blue (and gold lug lining)
