Happy to have joined this Roberts group with my new-to-me tandem. This late seventies tandem was purchased near Toronto with a decal from a local shop named Bicyclesport. The owner talked about how his Dad purchased it from Mike Barry Sr. (also of Mariposa Bicycles). The tandem has been in their family ever since and was last ridden in the mid-eighties. Beautiful fillet brazing, TA, Mafac, Suntour and Campagnolo components, and a Phil Wood disc brake set up as a drag brake. Looking forward to working on it through the winter for spring adventures.
