For Sale again Jack Taylor TT(?)

For sale
£300

Jack Taylor curved seat-tube frame, perhaps 50s, perhaps earlier, perhaps built for TT, very compact. Track ends. Curious crimped seatstays (around rim area), tight clearance for 27” presumably, no rear drilling, plate bridge. No chainstay bridge.

560TT x 510ST c-c
BB 290mm
Fork rake 45mm

Fork chromed, unknown, not likely matching, but suitable style with beautiful fancy cutout crown tangs, drilled with round blades but braking not too flexy.

Lugless frame, been through the mill a bit. Shot stays with elegant shield shaped lamination at cluster. Frame has had major sleeve reinforcements added around curved seat tube & down tube, around their mitre down to BB by the artistic problem solver extraordinaire Dear Susan / Petor G..

Cluster was clamp style but I later had a bolted collar added by Winston Vaz aka Varonha.

Would love to sell whole bike as is.
