Tommy Quick owner of TJQ cycles, 230 Stanstead Road, Forest Hill, London, SE23. Were still trading within the last couple of years. I think Tommy has now retired and his son is running the business. Didn't Tommy start his working career with George Stratton? Dave Pitt the famous record breaking tricyclist used to ride a TJQ trike but this was probably a Rogers trike re-enamelled by Tommy.
Best wishes and be lucky. Michael Butler Huntingdon UK.
