Story
Friends of mine had acquired this beautiful tandem after falling in love with it in a local bike shop.
Reported to have been used in a Dutch television advert for health insurance, the tandem is a real head turner, and perfect example of British Hand Made Steel bikes.
Needing the space, I cleaned, serviced and polished the tandem. It came up great and perfect condition given a bike of such an age. I certainly couldn't give it up without riding it to the next town for a Sunday afternoon and even managed to convince my Father to join me for a good spin out on it.
