I bought this Paris tandem in August as a frame. It turns out to date to 1949. Handily I already had an original 26" wheel with 1949 Sturmey Archer AW hub. I managed to get hold of a Cyclo Standard derailleur complete with cables and lever, and Cyclo 2 sprocket adapter. Unfortunately the cables don't reach far enough, so if anyone has a tandem length Cyclo Standard cable let me know.
I am considering building a 27" wheelset, replacement saddles and fitting mudguards as future upgrades.
All I have to do now is convince my wife to ride as stoker!
