Looking at the JT Tourist on Ebay now that we've been kicking around.
The size seems a little odd (out of proportion) to my limited experience. 54 seat tube and a 58.5 top tube. Could someone explain what that would compare to now days.
thanks in advance

Would anyone be able to point me to a source for the curved tube Reynolds decals for the repainted Jack Taylor I acquired this year?
Thanks,

the late 70s/early 80s date on cessation of the custom reynolds
transfers sounds about right, from what ive seen - though different
models probably ran out at different times... ive always been under
the impression that the old english script downtube transfers (and
accompanying script/shield headtube transfers) were the older of
the 2 designs, and that the deco style transfers were standard in
the later years, with the script ones available upon request... ive
seen bikes with combinations, as well - deco on the headtube/
seattube and script on the downtube...
