Hugh Porter is a former multiple world professional champion in the 5,000m individual pursuit. He finished on the podium for 7 consecutive years from 1967-1973. He was champion four times (1968, 1970, 1972, 1973), second place twice (1967, 1969) and took the bronze in 1971.

This is the so-called Mondrian-style of transfers. The Jack Taylor-expert Joel Metz says on his website that "These transfers, sometimes seen referred to as "modern" transfers on
Jack Taylor invoices, were designed by Mrs. Dave Radmore of
(coincidentally) Stockton, California - one of the couple from Stockton
who visited the Taylors back in the 1950s to purchase a tandem, as
mentioned in The Custom Bicycle."
And again Joel Metz: "Early Taylors came with what are termed by Norman "gothic" transfers,
later frames (post-1956) mostly had the newer "mondrian" transfers. The

| Name: | JDM |
| Brand: | JAN DE MOL (JDM RACING) |
| Country: | Netherlands |
| Years: | 1980's |
| Found On: | Vintage Lightweights |
| Additional Info: |
| This is on a frame branded by the Jan De Mol bikeshop in Heeswijk, Netherlands (est. 1984). I contacted the shop which still exists as of December 2021, and Jan's son John who now runs the shop confirmed that this was one of their early racing bikes which were branded and sold by them (they built up frames with customer ordered components). Frame is potentially made by Martens (Martelly); Eddy Martens commented that it seemed like one of theirs, but could not be certain. Date is circa 1985-1987 based on Reynolds 531c decal and Simplex SJ A222 (badged as Gipiemme) front derailleur (direct tube mount, "French" style). |
