"Sold by Ken Thursby Cycles of Bournemouth" brings back memories - that's where I got my Orbit Gold Medal in the mid 80s.

Congrats, I'm glad it went to one of our own

Even if you have to spend a little to replace/improve some components, I reckon you've got a very nice ride there for a steal of a price.

Cheers, it was only the princely sum of £30 in the end, so I was well chuffed! The front derailleur was a bit bent so I've put on a 1950's Campag Gran Sport for now

I know nothing about the name but it looks pretty enough , if rather pricey?

If it's a real Jack Taylor they are worth a pretty penny. Have a Google, some of the box lining on his frames and tandems was exquisite. Nicely made frames too

I'm about to read up

Now I know why folk are saying its not too pricey at all @_

Not pricey at all, if it is a real Jack taylor.

I think that it is a genuine Jack Taylor - the components 'match' a frame of that age; difficult to be sure, but does it have 27" wheels ? A bike of that age, would almost certainly have had 27" wheels originally. As @midlife has mentioned, it has box-lining and nice detailing at the top of the rear struts.

All it needs, is a check over and a bit of cleaning with an oily rag - i don't think it'll be for sale for long, there are many in the V-CC who would love to get their hands on it - well spotted !
