So now we have a tandem!
Its in decent shape, yet there is still a list of things to fix, i think its 1975 to 1979 age, at least thats when the frame was produced. Mix of mafac, ta specialities, campag record and suntour cyclone. Fairly normal size of frame which us useful and i would say very light compared to touring tandems of the same era.
Worried about regular campag record large flange hubs (in 32/36h!) on a tandem, the rear is possibly gubbed, front seems ok. Rims are those weinnman 27 1 1/4" concave items which are sturdy enough.
Been out on a small jaunt, brakes are reasonable but need to track down some good non expired mafac card ridge sized koolstop salmon, anyone know of a source? Then its going to get a full rebuild, future proof it. We have two other bob Jacksons of similar era, so it's amongst its own lol
