SOLD Jack Taylor Racing Trike
Posted by: revrob (IP Logged)

I am able to offer for sale my Jack Taylor Racing Trike.

It's not getting enough use, so deserves a better home.

It is a 2-wheel drive machine, using Geoff Booker's Trykit conversion (see [www.trykit.com])

The frame is made from Reynolds 531 and was made in 1979.

The frame dimensions are as follows:
Toptube - 56cm/22" (centre of headtube to centre of seat tube)
Seat-tube - 52cm/20.5" (centre of toptube to top of bottom bracket shell)
Downtube - 62cm/24.5" (centre of headtube to bottom bracket shell casing)
Headtube - 6cm/2.333" (centre of toptube to centre of downtube)

I am 5' 11" tall, with a 31.5" inside leg.

There is a dent in the toptube (which was there before I bought it), though this has no effect on the bike or its handling.

The spec is as follows:
Nitto Noodle handlebars
Ritchley 95mm stem (ahead, not quill)
Stronglight Headstrong headset
Campag Chorus 9sp shifters / brakes
Promax crosstop levers

2 brakes on front wheel
1 - Shimano R100 caliper
1 - V - brake with adapter (purpose built by Geoff Booker)

Tiagra triple Hollowtech 2 chainset (bearings outside the bottom bracket)
Shimano front mech (fully compatible with Chorus shifters)
Campag Champ Triple rear mech (long cage)

Mavix CXP33 rims
Maxxis Colombiere 23mm tyres


It is an excellent machine for an introduction to triking, or as an audax trike - for which the 2-wheel drive is a great asset.

The pedals and Carradice SQR block are not part of the sale.

Please do come back to me (Robert) if you have any questions, via pm or on 07827 297668.

I'm looking for £600, and then we can sort delivery out.
It should be able to go with a courier, but if not, I'd happily arrange to meet someone halfway.

Thanks for looking.

Sold, subject to receipt of funds.

I will move it to 'sold' when the funds have cleared.
