Updated 7.4.2008

      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.
