Up for sale on ebay for the price of a very ratty Miata is the rarest of the rare, a Jack Taylor Tricycle Tandem. If you're older with a wife that rides this is the answer to literally riding into the grave, as when the balance goes, as long as you can spin a wheel and grip a brake you and she can keep riding, and you will be the talk of any ride group, bike show. Enjoy:
Current owner, she's 5'6" to give scale.

How much did the price say? I think I could get about 20 ratty Miyatas for the price they're asking!
Oh. Miata. Like the car.
Jack Taylor made some damn fine tandems. Mine handles much better than anything else I've had the privilege to ride (Santana, Laing, Raleigh). Looks like the components on this trike are not top-of-the-line, but I bet it will corner well enough to make you forget you're on three wheels!
If they listed the serial (usually on the left rear dropout, so who knows where it is on this frame) we could date it.
