Patrick was correct on the bracket on the fork of the Jack Taylor. That was
the bracket for the headlamp. The fitting on the top of the stem is an
integral center-pull brake cable hanger and adjuster. I had it set up with
some long reach Mafac brakes and it worked beautifully. Here's a
My first "real" bike after my two-speed Schwinn Typhoon was a Frejus I
bought at Robert's Cyclery in Chicago. It was the first bike I'd ever
ridden that felt alive. I rode that all through high school and college.
Years later I picked up a nicely restored '63 Jack Taylor Super

I did like my little White Industries Dos ENO freewheel when I was
commuting in Santa Fe. Bigger cog for uphill going to work, and little one
for a fast ride home. I just ran across it in a box of parts and may need
to find a home for it. Couldn't change while moving but it worked for me at
I'm doing a rehab on my wife's old Specialized Sirrus (she hasn't
ridden it since she got her Glorious) and came up against a shifter
conundrum. The bike is set up with Suntour Edge derailleurs and
Accushift downtube shifters. Has anyone ever tried to mate a set of
those shifters to a set of bar
