something that may be of use to, but not in its current state is a hub with currently a Shimano 7 speed cassette mounted on a 3 speed internal gear hub. Its built on a 26 rim but can easily be ripped out and rebuilt into a 700c rim, it has an MTB twist grip changer too. Its £20 plus postage if we can't meet up. PM if interested.
The CTC has a Tandem Club you may advised to ask/view stuff etc- I have seen the headset arrangement but never played with one. I suspect the bolt required is a seat bolt, and in some ways is a fore runner of the ahead set.
V brakes are good on a tandem but the "Travel Agent" to convert to drop handlebar levers are unfortunately lots of dosh, it may be prudent to have straight or riser bars and levers to match.
Best of luck !
SJS stock and are tandem experts and will give you advice- their chainsets are certainly worthy of a look.
