1. added a "similiar period bikes" to the caminade/caminargent pages - basically pics and short descriptions of some of the other aluminum french bikes of the same period (1930s-1950s). may expand to include non-french and earlier examples. if youve got something you think is relevant, please feel free to send info!

2. work in progress, not fully linked yet, not enough data points, but im putting it here as a shameless call for input. im working on a jack taylor price "guide", as i regularly have to field questions of the "what is my bike worth?" variety, which people usually want me to answer blind. id like to be able to either a) give slightly less vague answers or b) have something on the site which allows me to duck these questions altogether :) therefore, if any of you out there have bought or sold a taylor in recent memory, id love to get the model, sale price, vintage (decade is close enough), condition and whether it was a complete bike or frame/fork or whatever - as well as anything in particular that you think made it worth more or less than a standard good condition example of the same taylor model (some non-standard fitting or special add-on or notable damage or...)... names and serial #s will not be used on the page. thanks in advance!
