I love the Taylors, everything about them really. The men and the bikes. Unpretentious, they did things the way they wanted to, not because other people were doing it. Sure, they had lots of french bicycle influence that made up what they did, but they were Brits with no question. Plus how cool is it that three brothers worked so closely together for so long? Maybe some builders like Weigle or Sachs have more artistic flair , but the Taylors built bikes for everyone with a purpose. And for the most part they changed very little over the years. I can respect that. Those are some of the reasons they are my favorite builders. My Taylors:

'80 Super Touring Tandem


'99 Super Tourist


'78 Tour of Britain project


a cool curved tube I got to visit during a California trip, where you find more Taylors than other locations.



and this one I used to own (now in @ColonelJloyds hands) might not have been built by them but it definitely passed through their hands.
