I love it when the Inn goes out to visit other threads
What a fantastic thread and have no idea how I missed this one! Thank you Guinessisgoodforyou for pointing/nudging me in the right direction.
After reading through the first 46 pages in one go this afternoon during a rainstorm, I feel I may be able to add to the thread.
I have a couple of builds and try these days to only keep or build what I want to use. I say try, as I have a couple frames in the loft that will get built one day. Only in my size and lean towards the touring, randonneur style usually.
As most know I really love riding my Jack Taylors, with my old Super Clubman being my year round ride. This Super Clubman and my Mercian King of Mercia in touring geometry would have to be my two most favourite riding bikes of all time.
Along with my Super Clubman I also have my Super Tourist which I purchased about 12 months ago with 20 miles, if that on it. Built in 1983, then stored in the factory on display, It had been stored in a spare room since purchased from the brothers on 1990. Beautiful and about to go on it's first decent tour the week after next if all goes to plan.
I then have a Sport frame that was partially built when purchased in the 1960's but never finished and then lived in a black bin bag unbuilt in a loft until found a few years back now. Ken checked it out for me just after I picked it up and then signed it for me at one of the Jack Taylor rides a few years back.
Then I have another Super Tourist that was built by Norman at the very end of the factory days. This was again a very long story but came to me by a very good friend who had purchased it from an estate sale. The gentleman had it made but had never got a chance to build it. It then was offered to me as it was my small size as the friend wanted the Tour of Britain model. I couldn't afford it at the time but several years later when said friend was selling a large amount of his collection he pulled it out of his lock up and said he knew I would want it one day.
These all have threads in the readers rides section, besides the Sport. A bit picture heavy sorry.
Also most of their rides and stories are on the blog https://theroadlesspedalled.blogspot.com/
