Hi There,
I'm not sure how much assistance I can be in terms of picking the right bike but I have recently purchased a tandem that I think fits your description (my wanted advert is here: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/296423/#comment13344933).
Despite the difficulties that you may encounter with regards to fixing any mechanical issues ((currently) irregular sized wheels/ nuts/ rear spacing), I'm glad to have bought an older tandem, than the newer aluminium bikes that are in some cases, comparable in price.
@dkmike - do you still have your tandem available?

Hi
Looking for a tandem project for me and the missus. I think it could be cool riding it around town on nice an sunny days. Any "connoisseur" here that could advise help picking one? I see the claud butler seems rather popular on the bay.
Ideally I would love something retro and vintage looking but would consider anything really as long as it fits. I'm 5'10 (ride 53-56cm seat tube) and the missus is 5'1.
Last one, I don't want to break the bank. Don't might paying up for something that would hold its value though.
Thanks
