Gavin Newell riding his Quasar (2015)

An historic photo. Gavin Newell riding one of his late father's creations, Quasar No.2, at the 40th anniversary event organised by John Bruce near Usk, South Wales, in September 2015.
This machine has been extensively refurbished by Mark Crowson since Gavin acquired it from John Cooper, who in turn got it from Andy Tribble. Before Andy it was owned for many years by the late Nick Roche, who was very tall and put a 'hump' in the roof which has now disappeared.

Really?

I refurbished this and was in mint condition when exchanged it for the VF750. All that has been done is a better paint job! This is how is looked when I sold it http://www.bikeweb.com/node/2488
