Jack Taylor curved TT bike

[fossala]

Just finished this bike today. Got it a week ago. Needed a polish and put on some new rubber, sensible cog and some fresh tape.

Always wanted a Jack Taylor

Very nice is that a track bike with beefed up frame for the "stomp" at the start of a sprint?

Unfortunately no. It had a possible crack in the BB area so was reinforced by Dear Susan before being resprayed.

Yowza!

What front rack is that?

Lovely!

Don't use the front brake until you turn the block holders around 180°

Re:

The front rack it TA and the brake wasn’t set up yet in the picture but all is sorted now but thanks for the heads up.

Not bad for £300...
Edit: including a NOS Mafac racer brake.

Re:

Consciously or not, I think you have overlooked the orthodox orientation of TA chainring-to-crank there?
Best kind of frame for a Brooks though- That seat tube angle means you don't have to try to shove it farther back on the post than it's actually capable of going. Just as well really, 'cause if you did shove it back you'd probably be sitting behind the rear axle.
