An Audax buddy from down in Fife and I just got a 90s Dave Yates tandem from Stu Allan.
Curious Gen1 Hope disc brake mounts on the front, but we'll stick with the V-brake for now.
The plan is to use this for Audaxing and if the frame suits try and do some of the 1000km+ perms up here in Scotland.
Sorry for the poor photos, all that I have as with the lockdown not actually seen it in person yet.
As the stoker I'm a big concerned on size. Currently the seatpost to bar measurement is a good 120mm shorter than on my solo road bikes. Between a setback seatpost and wide stoker bullhorns and if space allows get Stu to make up a shorter stoker stem hopefully we can make it work.
Ultegra 9 speed triple Groupset
Suntour SE Canti in rear
Avid Brake booster on front
Hope wheelset for drum rear and very Gen1 disc brake front
Not too many tandems available for a pair of guys at 5.10 and 6.02.
