• Finally got some free evenings this week and I've been building up the tandem. Will aim to get some photos up tonight.

    So far everything has come together nicely (including the parking brake!) but I'm having a problem installing one of the seatposts. It came out of the frame with no trouble at all but it's an unusually tight squeeze to get it back in. I've already scratched it pretty badly in the process - albeit where the scratches won't show.

    Suspect the problem might be to do with my central heating making the metal expand (although the other post went in fine) so I've left the offending seatpost outside in the cold all day. Will try again this evening.
