I'm moving so I need to let this tandem go. I lovingly restored it and had a few great rides, but it's mostly sat in the shed.

531 tubing
Shimano STI levers (Tiagra 3x9sp)
Handbuilt Mavic A319 wheels on Deore hubs, barely used.
Proper stoker handlebar.
Rear saddle is a good comfy one. Front I'll maybe switch out but it'll be decent enough.
Captain seat tube: 53cm ctc, ~58ctt
Captain top tube: 54.5cm CTC
Stoker seat tube: 50cm ctc
Stoker top tube: 66cm ctc (v adjustable stoker stem)
Disc brake upgrade is very possible. I built the rear wheel on a disc hub to allow for this. There is a mount in the frame for disc brake calipers (Hope MkI) but to use other disc brakes you would need to drill new holes with correct spacing.
This bike is very very fast on the flat. Cruise indefinitely at 40kph with moderate fitness. Two fit people clipped into pedals can do decent intervals at 50kph.
