Had another senior moment. These are occurring with alarming regularity lately! How could I have forgotten Buckley Brothers when writing about taper tubes. Along with Selbach and Granby these three names became synonymous with the taper tube frame in the 20's and 30's. They made two models: Special Taper Tube and the Super Light Taper Tube. They also would fit the square to round chainstay on the Taper tube models. Thanks to Griff for the bit on Excel Cycles and Dan Genner hadn't realized he had a brother as well in the trade, fascinating.

Yours in cycling. Michael Butler Huntingdon UK.
