Hi all.

I have become aware that someone on your side of the pond has had some Jack Taylor branded drinking bottles produced for resale. Having known the three brothers well in the 1980's and Norman having built three frames for me during that decade, I would like to own a couple of bottles to adorn my 1982 Super Tourist cycle. I was fortunate to acquire a JT musette at the time, but not any other cycle memorabilia before they ceased trading at the 'factory'. Could whoever it is perhaps contact me off list so that I can arrange an order...I believe the expression is...'coals to Newcastle' over here! Or should it that be 'coals to Stockton'.

I used to meet Norman at York Rallies in the early 90's hawking his wares around the camp site with frames over his shoulders! Such energy for his age even then. A sad passing!

Grateful for any assistance.
