Quadrant (hat -- artistic class). Philadelphia Flower Show, "Holland--Flowering the World," March 11-19, 2017.
In their comtemporary advertising Quadrant claim to be Britain's oldest motorcycle, the company was founded by W L Lloyd in 1901, the first models to his design were fitted with 211cc Minerva engines. The firm also produced the Quadrant forecar.
From 1903 onwards, Quadrant produced their own engines in a wide range of capabilities and types. The firm was represented in competitions for many years by Tom Silver and in May 1903, he was the only ebtrant to make a non-stop run in the SAC Glasgow-London Trial. This was described in the press report of the day as the most outstanding demonstration of the reliability of the motorcycle that has ever been made.
By 1924 Mark Newarch & Co Ltd owned Quadrant and was producing two models only - a 490cc and 624cc - both side valve singles, the 624cc model having been reduced from a previous 645cc engine.
These motorcycles had an enviable reputation as robust touring bikes but unfortunately manufacturing ceased in 1929.

The bike on which Team Sky cyclist Chris Froome won the 2013 Tour de France came to visit our offices ahead of a Sky Ride event.
I understand this is a Pinarello Dogma 65.1 Think2 which is a carbon fibre made to measure machine costing about £10,000.
The bike weighed nothing and could be picked up wih one finger! The water bottles, when full, are heavier than the bike!

This model is based upon the Crescent building in Buxton, Derbyshire, but is just a quadrant (quarter circle) rather than a semicircle.

After a long hiatus involving demotivation and a lack of creativity, this is the beginning of my latest MOC. I bet you'll never guess what will transpire.

I had a couple attempts at shooting the Quadrant before I was happy with it. The angles are very strange. The Quadrant is a very lucky pub - there's been a lot of re-development around the clock tower, but since the interior has listed status, so must keep all it's original features, the pub has been left standing while a lot of the surrounding buildings and infrastructure are new.
