Now its not quite as good an offer as you might be thinking, but it may do somebody a favour-
Originally two road frames (standard 1" forks) brazed/welded together by someone who ought to have known better, correct bottom bracket in the front (you can have the excentric bb shell if desired), straight and true as far as I know.
Seat post fixing is by a bolt being driven into the post through the tapped hole in the frame. The seat posts only go a limited distance into the frame, but ample for safety, front I think 26.8, rear was 27- there is a short rear seat post with it if desired.
The chain stays & ends are "soft" where I believe the heat of brazing has affected the metal strength.
Have no fear it works- it was used for very quick time trialling by the prevous owner and his partner, it was used very recently by our very own forumite Stelle and partner, for her video making, and she was delighted with it.
If someone wants to play for hours, and have some fun riding it, then please be my guest. It may be a way of getting the woman in your life out on a bike and know exactly where she is (mind you, you might not know if she's working though....).
Some transport available. PM if interested.
(I have two other tandems that I was given, so this one is really, really excessive, and just not to my liking or required standard)
ps - if nobody wants it, the next journey it makes is to the dump, the dump, the dump, dump, dump, dump..........
