Involved in the
cycling trade since the late thirties, Jack Taylor Cycles actually
was made up of three brothers producing a wide range of hand built bicycles. The last bits of
frames with all brothers involved were made in the early 1990's, but in their hey days, the Taylor brothers exported many bikes, especially tandems, to the USA.
Their filet brazing as well as lugged construction is highly respected.
Here
is a wonderful film clip that celebrates
the life and work
of the Taylor Brothers.
