Restoring Dad's bike
I too am restoring my Dad's TJQ (Tommy Quick) frame ... only mine dates from the 1950s (the Herne Hill days, rather than the Forest Hill ones ... although I did visit the Forest Hill shop once where they dutifully logged the frame number in their 'big book')! Just taken it in to Mercian Cycles, who I think would make a good job of it, but desperate to find an image of the original decals ... very different from the later ones that you can see in a few places on the web. Just labelled T.J.Q. rather than T J Quick and with an Olympic rings style logo on the head tube and the down tube. If anyone, anywhere has any photographs that might help??
Sadly the originals were lost in a previous 'respray' about 25 years ago.
