Harry Quinn Cycles was essentially a Liverpool business, although the concern had various
locations. For instance, in the mid-1980s, they were on the Ivy
Tower Farm, at St Florence, near Tenby Pembrokeshire, Wales.
Harry Quinn Cycles began
as Coronet Cycles in 1890s. Harry himself was the son of the founder,
also Harry,
and was then joined by his own son, Peter. The 'Harry Quinn' marque
was begun in the 1950s. The racing bikes were noted for
their short wheelbase and steep angles, relative to other
contemporaneous makes. Harry also served as the bike designer for
others, including Viking cycles & Falcon.
Harry passed away on 1st October
2010, aged 93.

"Harry
Quinn" bikes not made in Quinn workshops....
Apparently
in the 1980s and on, various attempts were made to cash in on
the brand name by having HQ bikes made in Ireland, in England and
abroad... |

Jim Laird owns this unusual bike, a 49CM "Club Rider"
made of Columbus
Aelle tubing, #Q928. Purchased
from The Tread Mill in Potsdam NY in 1992.
"I was told it was owned by Harry Quinn’s son and part
of a fleet of track
bikes that he toured the US Velodromes promoting single speed bikes." |
