• Well done on getting it looking like new, always nice to see tandems getting a bit of love. The stoker saddle to grips distance looks really short with the swept back bars. It gives the impression the stoker is sitting on top of the rear wheel and very upright, make sure you call the bumps!

    Parking brakes are such an amazing and simple pleasure.

  • Ah! Very good point about the stoker's cockpit. My stoker wishes I'd realised that before picking the bars, because while the riding position is super comfortable back there, the bumps aren't. I'm getting good at calling them, but not good enough.

    I have a set of less dramatically swept-back chrome bars that I could install but we're hoping that a sprung Brooks B17 might make life a little smoother. In which case we'll need to find a nice men's B17 for the front too...
