Rower40 has a vacant stoker seat.  A blind friend's guide dog wasn't happy in the trailer, so we never actually did any rides.

For my latest commuting bike, I rode the tandem to the LBS, and asked for "one like that but with only one seat".

Bit disappointing to see it's not a 'wobble' tandem ???

Those stokers handlebars look as if they're at just the right height for some serious bottom-fondling action :o :thumbsup:

Coincidence??  ;D

Since about 3 hours ago, me and Mrs Ape have been in possession of an Motobecane Inter Club tandem that's older then we are! My dad bought it secondhand in about 1980, but he's hardly ridden it for ages so we've liberated it :) It needs saddles fitting and the tyres pupming up but we should be able to take it out for a spin sometime in the next few days, can't wait!

The marital Tom Avon is still languishing in the shed, me not having managed to sell it yet. Too small for Ms R.

I have a half share in a Pete Tansley racing bike, though haven't used it for a few years.

Mrs 109 and I have Bertin touring tandem.  This sometimes has a vacant stoker seat, as Mrs 109 is still getting used to it and doesn't want to go too far.  It's waiting for funds for an upgrade of wheels and conversion to 8-speed with STIs, so that I don't have to keep fumbling around for the downtube shifter!

Dawes Super Galaxy, aka Monty.
That's a gorgeous colour, Paul. is it original?

Here's our, third hand, Orbit Gemini. Not the fastest thing on two wheels, but what do you want for £250?  :thumbsup:

It's a bit weird, but actually quite wonderful.

As far as I know. I only got it a couple of years ago from a guy across the road who couldn't use it anymore. The decals all look to be genuine, so I assume it's the original paint. To be honest, I wasn't wild about the colour but, coincidentally,

what do you want for £250?  :thumbsup:
