Harry Quinn Cyclocross Bike

[dhd]

Wondering what to do with this old chap. A genuine HQ CX bike with single chainset. Would make a nice touring or training bike with the right adaptations, as I can't see it ever competing in CX again.

Any thoughts?

Flog it to me? I like that from what I can see from my little phone

The pic looked ok on my little phone, but on here it looks dreadful. I'll take some better ones & update the thread.

Harry Quinn CX bikes in the 70's used Galli kit, sadly too small for mne to make you an offer

Too big for me, but very nice
No need to wonder what to do with it now There's plenty of interest in steel cyclocrossers and especially Harry Quinn.

Measured it last night:
Seat tube C-T: 21.25" (54cm)
Top tube C-C: 55cm

It seems to have a bit of everything, in terms of groupset!:
Galli cantilever brakes with CLB levers.
Stronglight 5 bolt single chainset with inner & outer chainguards.
Campag Nuovo Record rear mech
Shimano bar end shifter.
Campag Record LF 36h front hub on Mavic sprint rim with Wolber CX tub (perished but holds air!)
Ofmega SF 36h rear hub on unbranded sprint rim with Vittoria Tigre CX tub (holds air!)
3TTT stem with Primo Extra Giro d'Italia bars (38cm c-c)
Campag Record seatpost & Turbo saddle.

Too small for me, but may fit Ms dhd, who doesn't do CX
Will look into making an Eroica compliant road bike out of it.
