As many on this list know... With the right connection to Norman Taylor, I understand that he still brazes up the occasional frame and has it painted (Jack has long since retired from painting) and will have it "decalled" Jack Taylor. I for one have a frame built for me that is a "5 bar gate" ["flying gate" design] with Osgear "dropouts" and fittings, built in 2000.
If I can get out to the shop soon I'll post the years and serial numbers of my taylor frames (from mid/late 60's to 2000...) to help with the "timeline" idea. True that they used a sequential number.
