After its day outside in the cold, the seatpost agreed to go into the frame with slightly less of the struggle.
Took the tandem out for its first proper test ride over the weekend. So, SO much fun! Even if we were only pootling around South London. Discovered that there were some pretty worn parts though, so splurged on SJS Cycles last night. Here's what's coming in the post:
New 52t and 46t chainrings
New six-speed rear freewheel
New chain (drive, not timing)
Cork handlebar grips (decided against wrapping the bars)
Silver bottle cages.
I've also had to true the rear wheel quite a bit. Will get pictures as soon as I have an opportunity to take some in daylight.
Possibly the most entertaining thing about riding a tandem is the smile that crosses the face of almost anybody you pass.
