I had a tandem that had been Ken & Honor Taylor's own touring tandem from the 1960s (They were touring in the Pyrenees on it on the day that Tom Simpson died). It had the original equipment and was really good to ride. 650B wheel, alloy fenders, painted racks. So much box lining work it made you dizzy.
It is in Japan now. I do not begrudge the guy that bought, I just wish I had kept it!
I currently have a 1930s Higgins Ultra light tandem, with very modern equipment. Will I regret selling this one?
I had a 1944 Wileys Jeep that I bought from Norman, kind of wish I had kept that too!
