first one's a bike brand, second one's a fashion/surf brand.

If there is no matchbox then have a look at the dropouts, both outside & inside for a serial.
A clear picture of the serial & the frame will be a big help. Some serials were struck by someone with a weak wrist & the stampings are very shallow & hard to read which will require removal of paint under the matchbox in order to see it.
The spelling will of course be the correct 'Quicksilver' & there is no connection with that limp wristed surf brand.
Oh yeah, some Quickie frames were painted brown ex-factory, but it was not popular & was discontinued.

Now that's AUSTRALIAN to the core.

I've got a 26" frame. A 20" is next on the cards when one pops up.

It remained in production untill late 1983.
A 26" Cruiser is one of the models that I still seek to make a complete set of Australian manufactured models.
Now that's AUSTRALIAN to the core.

This site is awesome , i'm new to all this fancy computer stuff haha.... I used to race BMX in the 90's ...I started on a hotfoot i think? that i bought off a mate from school for $20 it was covered in rust , i cleaned it up and i was away i was hooked ...i then got an old steel frame mongoose, that i fixed up an put alloy rims on etc and raced with that, until i ended up buying a percentage magmoly frame and forks and built it up , it was my pride and joy worth about $950 all up, which was a huge amount for me (mum haha) in those days...anyway i got out of racing and into freestyle, then just kinda used a MTB for transport to work ..and have just got back into MTB trails ..its in my blood i think haha. So now that you know my life story ) haha. I recently found out that an old HELIUM QUICKSILVER frame and forks that i have, had for years might be very Rare indeed , just wondering if anyone can help out on an appraisal , NOT SURE if i want to sell it as i have always wanted to do it up and ride it..but maybe for the right price who knows ...Any help would be great ..cheers guys n gals ))
ps.. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post for this kind of thing ..cheers and may the forx b with you )

Whether or not it is worth 3k is another argument all together!
As the blokes over on OZ have said. Just keep it mate and ride it...
If you do decide to sell it, just make sure you find a collector with deep enough pockets. Not many of those around at the moment though.
My 26" Quicky would be the last one i sell out of the collection.

LOL indeed...hard to guage a price on these. As the last one to pass through collectors hands before the 3k one sold for 1200 not too long before.rollin wrote:Loljimmy boy wrote:I think 3k is way off the mark.
As to whether it is worth 3k is another thing. It's a lot of $$$ to fork over just to win a pissing contest.

Doesn't mean it's worth anything close to that though...
Quicky values have doubled in the last 2 years, I saw a 26 frame go for 600 , 2 years ago
I reckon it would go for 2k ATM..
