      Essentially a Liverpool business (Although the concern moved about) Harry Quinn Cycles began as Coronet Cycles in 1909. Harry himself was the son of the founder and was assisted by his own son up until they gave it up (early 80's?)  His racing bikes were noted for their short wheelbase and steep angles, relative to other current marques. He also served as the bike designer for others, incl. Viking cycles & Falcon.

"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...
