i think the taylors had reynolds make special decals for all their models, if i recall correctly...

and that rear metal dropout thingie on the tourist model on ebay, i think the bare metal portion is probably just part of the derailleur, perhaps? you can just see bits of the purple dropout poking out behind it... but the actual dropout itself is pretty interesting as well, what with that extended bit into the chainstay...
