Great television documentary about the bike building Taylor brothers called 'The Bike Brothers'. The documentary was produced by BBC North East in 1986.
Note that rear wheel Jack is building. Its a Maxi-Car tandem brake hub that is used for the tandem. The Maxicar is a work of art and still highly sought collectors and one for the use on classic tandems. I was fortunate enough to have Ken at my hotel in Seattle during the Bike Expo where he was guest of honor. Dozens of Jack Taylor bikes there!
Please teach the name of the tool of the line pull.
