Holiday- your new bike looks so burly- is that fillet brazed as well? The seat stay join at the seat tube looks so pronounced and does it have a "epaulet" or something going down to the pump peg?
the logo was designed by a customer who stopped in and stayed with the Taylors for a bit, I think in the 70's. I agree its cool. I like the older logo's as well.
I actually didn't notice that piece above the pump pet on the seat stay until you pointed it out. I've only seen the pics i posted so we'll see. And yes, the frame is filet brazed. I'd say most of their frames were, and all the tandems I think, though there are definitely lugged models as well, and I think I've even seen a few with a mix of lugged and filet. Some models might have actually come in lugged and some filet, I believe. I'll have to take a look at the old catalogues.
