Early decals did indeed have the model name, TAYLOR BROS had a
very close relationship with REYNOLDS,Their TANDEM TUBE SETS were unique
to them because they owned the tooling to make it,thus you did not see
it in use by other builders.
Based on my own bikes it looks like sometime in the late 70s early 80s
they ran out of these unique decals and just went to a standard
decal.They might have changed to the old english script JACK TAYLOR
decals at about the same time.
Any 80s bikes out there with model name decals?
Bike on EBAY is an oldie and now sports a custom deraileur bracket
to accomodate its non LIST rear deraileur in place of the original
probably dual cable unit.
my size but 3 projects waiting already
