Looks like a Tommy Quick build.

Re: Re: Not sure why you would say the 853 in smaller sizes were more like touring bikes. Can you explain? I have an 853 bike size 55 and it is certainly not a touring bike.

Re: Not sure if this counts? A fillet braised Columbus SLX built by Tommy Quick (T.J. Quick) around 1985 just under 19 lbs. as it sits.

Or Holdsworth.

The 2 bikes I have that I am pretty sure were build by Mr. Quick are a Holdsworth and an actual T.J. Quick built in 1985 when he had his own shop. Serials look like this.

Re: Re: Did Roy T actually build frames? I was under the impression that he was more of a"Boss" than a builder.

Re: I just found a Battle Tomahawk at a local co-op. It is missing it's original fork, but a rock-shox mag 21 should not be to hard to source. The welds are a little "iffy" but they seem solid. I am a classic road bike guy but this thing is an absolute blast to ride.

Re: I just finished a rattle can job on this Canadian Le Croco. Paint still needs to be buffed out in spots but I am happy with it. I use an old wardrobe cabinet with 2 heat lamps which heat the cab to 140 degrees F. So 2 weeks after final clear coat it's ready to go. [/url][/url] [/url][/url]

Is there any potential to damage the Decals while polishing out the clear coat? Would polishing out the clear before applying Decals be a better option? This is where I usually run into problems...

Regarding decals, I was wondering what the correct process is. Do you apply decals after the last colour coat and clear coat over all. Or clear coat everything and then apply decals?

A couple of things I might add. Always wear vinyl or latex gloves fingerprints will leave oil and can affect the finish. If you have an old cabinet, wood is fine with enough room in it to hang a frame use it as a drying room. Add a couple of 150 watt old school light bulbs and temps will reach...

Re: Re: I was wondering the same thing. At one time did the shop change from using screws for the Headbadge? This one seem to be held on with rivets.

You should post this on Bikeforums. There are members there that actually worked for Trek. But I don't think you will find that Trek used Frames made by Holdsworth.

Looks like the Kilgariff site is down. http://www.nkilgariff.com/ "This site has been suspended"

I have a similar Frameset, a 1967 "K" designation. Twenty #'s earlier than yours. Mine doesn't have any of the downtube brazeons (what are they for?). And the rear brake hanger is totally different.

Re: The Effetto Mariposa Tape works great for getting a Tyre on. It's when you have to "Nuke" it off that's the problem. I used tape for awhile but have gone back to glue for that very reason.

Don't knock em till you try em. The 25 Masters are a wonderful Tyre. I don't ride anything under 25's anymore. What's the point?

Re: My 1967 Holdsworth Professional Italia. Built at the Putney Shop. It has been restored and repainted full Reynolds 531DB. [/url][/img]
