It looks like it is indeed a Winora.

a nice enough bike, but low end. Nice steel fenders.

I have a friend who is hosting a steel is real ride in Milwaukee

September 12, 2009.

he is showing off his Waterford restored Jack Taylor on

Facebook: '60s Jack Taylor has a unique drive train, a Sturmey-Archer S-5 internal 5-speed hub combined with two front chainrings for 10 ratios
