Thanks Charles for bringing this to our attention. Sad news, but then we can't stay here forever....though the happy thing is many of Harry's frames will be around for a long time.

As I come from the North of England [originally] Harry Quinn's were very popular, specially with the Liverpool riders, Kirkby CC in particular, I'd say at one point the best GB road riders at the time [72 ~ 75] were riding Harry Quinn's, usually in red! Great riders such as Doug Daily, Kevin Apter, John Clewarth....and many more.
