Cheers. It kind of acts as a mudguard, but also as a deterrent for having a rear chainset (nowhere to clamp derailleur) hence the epic chain! Other than the weight (which with a tandem is rarely light anyway) it's always run great and allows me to run a double crankset thou. Apparently it's good for bottom bracket stresses as well...

That's really nice.
The curved seat tube acts as mudguard, doesn't it?
There's one like yours from 1946 here with an interesting crackled paint job.

How do you find running such a long chain on the drive side?
