Imperfection in paint and pin striping holds a lot of charm. One of my favorite bikes is a later model Jack Taylor. The lug lining was done (by hand, of course) by Norman Taylor. Michael Lawrence located the frame (NOS, hanging in Norman's old barn) for me, and before he shipped it to me he warned that the lug lining was pretty quavery... and it is. Head tube lining includes a smear across the front of the head tube. I love it, 'cuz it was done by Norman. I would not want it any other way.
Another favorite is a Bob Jackson. Here's the link to the Cyclofiend pictures - - look at the third picture down, the nicely imperfect pin striping. http://cyclofiend.com/cc/2009/cc719-maxbeach1109.html R.L. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
