Yeah the bcd of the timing cranks caused issues when it came to sourcing replacement rings, but a slightly more modern crankset was long overdue for it anyway so I solved the problem that way (but still have the new-ish rings (one tour on them, about 1500 miles), if you want them).
Are lowrider bosses the bits halfway up the fork? If so, mine has them. With a tubus tara quite happily attached.re: the drum lever - more standard is to route it to a bar end shifter, @hovis has experience of this.

Ok, thanks @6pt - it's useful to know it's rough age.
I'll keep an eye on the rim/spokes in general but may well replace the wheels entirely at a later date. I'll also watch the transmission and check the BCD on the chainrings (I seem to remember you had an issue with that @6pt?). I don't have a chain wear tool but will eye up the cassette and chain in it's absence.
I noticed the brake arrangement, undecided about how I'd rather have it set up. Guess it depends how trusting the stoker is as to whether you give them a lever.
Can anyone hazard a guess as to whether this has lowrider bosses? I can't really see but all the other Dawes tandems I've seen seem to have them.
Any other pointers appreciated!
