@ghettro your Jack Taylor is my dream bike. If you ever want to sell it I'll swap you the internal organ of your choice

We're on Paselas (35mm), super fast rollings and they're tandem rated. Don't last quite as well as MarathonPlus though obviously.

Moultons rule! Loved my TSR

Worn chainrings do slip, for the same reason worn cassette sprockets do. If the gears are slipping under power with a new chain and cassette, most likely causes are poor gear adjustment (sometimes caused by worn out jockey wheels or bent gear hanger), dodgy freehub body/freewheel or worn out chainring. If the slippage only occurs in one of the chainrings, that suggests it's the chainring at fault.

Seems like there's a whole lot of rust all up inside the frame tubes, and not a lot of steel left... #internetdiagnosis though, let a framebuilder have a look around it

Is the middle ring new? Doesn't have to be that worn out for two strong riders to instigate some slippage

stoker saddle/bar drop is intense! human centipede tings

Tiagra flat bar levers are excellent, and they come with Shimano SLR housing n cables, which is also excellent. The shiny silver ones don't look too out of place on vintagey bieks either.

Only just noticed this, thanks for bigging up my frame! just boxing it up now. Hopefully the buyer will build it rad as fuck.

Dynohubs are pretty decent - reliable, as much power output as a modern hub - but a little heavy and a bit of a bitch to build (mainly because of the keyhole flanges on the small-flange side). Worth re-using. Also, Moultons rule all.

Magura used to make hydraulic drop levers for those brakes. You could get hold of a secondhand set maybe? Nice cantis or V brakes, with a good set of levers, will be plenty powerful for tandem skiddzz (though not quite as powerful as the Mags), but without the potential magura shitstorm if the '11s go Pete Tong.

Bristol harbourside?

i think they're a different diameter post - these brakes are copies of MAFAC which used proprietary braze-ons, PAUL use ordinary canti bosses, just in a different place.

Merry Skidmas cunts

Panaracer Paselas and Schwalbe Marathons both come in 27 x 1 1/4 - go Paselas for a nice ride or Marathons for epic sturdiness

My tandem is a lovely shade of lilac, I thought yellow tape/cages etc would look fully rad, luckily realised before I commenced re-tapeage that it'd look like a fucking Ukip battle bus, went with much safer hot pink instead.

I guess dishwashers are only really effective for families / houseshares that eat/wash dishes together? The amount of washing up I+my housemate make in a day wouldn't half fill the dishwasher, so we never use it because it seems* wasteful to run it half-empty.
*May or may not actually be wasteful

Noticed these little holes as I was doing so: front dropout adjusters?

Speed holes.

Are Campag left hand bar-end shifters friction (like shimano are)? If so (and you don't mind rocking the CampagMano), just use an odd secondhand Shimano left hand shifter (any model will work). They all have plenty of throw for a triple.

Had some Grand Bois tyres from there, arrived nice and fast. All good.

Fella on nicely made tallbike, hooning down Cotham Brow (Bristol) on (I think) Friday morning, 8.30 ish?
