Yes.....I thought having that track bike would be cool also until I saw the pic of the rear dropout with the generous gap in the weld. The dropout looks as if it never saw a file or even emery cloth.
I do think it's interesting that someone would buy new bikes and never take them out of the box to inspect them....much less build them up. I wonder what that says about the owner. I think it's safe to assume that the workmanship on the Taylor tandem is in a different category. By the way, has everyone seen the Jack Taylor touring bike with the Nervex lugs up for grabs on ebay? If only I had the money.....oh well!
