Subject: [CR]I'm listing some odds and ends on ebay; and Quinn Mercier info

Hi all, I am cleaning bits and pieces and some tools out and have begun listing them on ebay, user name eencore. Some of these items I am unfamiliar with, so if anyone can offer help it would be much appreciated. Also, am interested in acquiring a nice British road frame, 54 or 55 top tube(54 seat and 55 top are ideal). I've narrowed it down to Harry Quinn or Mercian. (I'm talking 70's or 80's here). Is there a clear winner in terms of quality or workmanship? I like both the elegance of the Quinn lugs I've seen and also the more ornate Mercian work I've seen. At this rate I'll end up with both, so help me with any suggestions. It'd be for mid length rides as well as sort of a nice townie. I've got a couple Italian trade candidates if anyone has a spare Brit.
Thanks,
Greg Overton
Utah
