This mad tandem frame caught my eye (which @doubleodavey helpfully posted on the eBay thread). I have often wanted a tandem for mad adventures. This thing seems to have managed to go feral in the woods, apparently without any wheels. I have found the right machine.
I just won the auction tonight so assuming that it is not in terrible condition I'm soon facing my first tandem build. I have dreamed of this moment.
I'll be using it for day drips and want it to be versatile but still whippy. I'll not be putting a zillion panniers on it, but perhaps a front and rear rack for a few picnic bits. I'll also be trying to do this one without dropping all the £££.
Plan:
Fully strip
Kill surface rust, and dinitrol inside the tubes
T-cut and wax the remaining lary paintwork
Rebuild with functional bits
Ride it a lot
