Show Us Your Bikes Starting With Q
Here's your chance to show us your bikes alphabetically!
It goes like this: every fortnight I'll start a new thread with a new letter in alphabetical order. Post your classic and vintage bikes that correspond to that letter, eg; C = Cinelli, Carlton, Ciocc. M = Mercian, Masi, Motobecane. And so on and so forth. The letter of the fortnight should correspond with the marque, not the model. For example; you could post your Tommasini Prestige in the T thread, but not in the P thread. If you're not sure, take a look at the word on your downtube. There's a grey area with people's names - Bruce Gordon, Claud Butler, etc., but I'll leave it up to the owners which thread is preferred. Make sense?
So let's see your Quintana Roos, Qadrants and Queens...OK, so I made the last one up.

This series of threads is killing me. Apparently I need at least five more bikes, as I'm missing E, Q, X, Y and Z.

Ha, no. Had to look them up. Apparently they started in '99. Now, if that had been 1899 ....

You're right! I forgot Quiring is a young company.

Would a bike going up the conveyor belt into a Qantas airliner count?? (Don't have one, just trying to keep the thread alive so Q doesn't feel neglected.)
