Here's mine before it broke. Paid something like £90 for it at got many 1000's of happy miles out of it. Here it is freshly shod on Michelin World Tour 26 1 3/8 tyres. It had an Atom hub brake too and was still woeful at stopping. I remember fitting some of those salmon coloured brake pads which helped quite a bit. Those rims are dreadful for braking especially in the wet but I accepted that to swap them out, the tandem was going to loose some of its 'character' so I didn't bother.
