Jack Taylor Tandem
We toured the UK in the early 1980s and visited the Taylor brothers' bike shop while we were in southern England. We met the three Taylor brothers (now all deceased) and were blown away by the worksmanship of their hand-built bicycles and the beauty of the paint job detailing on their frames. We purchased a tandem frame (23.5" on the front and 21" on the rear) and had it shipped to Canada. We rode our tandem often, but eventually switched to a recumbent issues for health reasons. We have reluctantly decided, because of a lack of storage, to sell our lovely tandem, which is now considered a collector's item and is still fully functional. It is forest green with pin-striping on the frame. We are selling it for CAN$3,500

Beautiful bike and great story. Selling used tandems is very difficult. We have an "Are you looking", tandem section that is filled with great bikes at low prices that don't seem to sell. https://offerup.com/item/detail/26b1...alenax&cid=7.4 You might need to put in some extra effort to get this sold, at a reasonable price, even though it is great bike from a desirable builder. This Forum is a good start, you might want to move it to the "for sale" section in the classic & vintage section, where it will find a more receptive audience- https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage-sales/ You might also want to seek out some tandem forums or groups on facebook, google etc.
Good luck
