Jesus christ you're on a normal bike!

A fully restored (from an absolute wreck) 1930's tandem is not considered 'normal' by many people.

Everything's relative.  For you that bike is normal

And of course by 'normal' what he means is very very lovely.  Isn't it OD?

Absolutely!  I love tandems and they are all just fantastic irrespective of era and type etc.

As we are taking care not to offend could I please point out that our tandem Tina is the loveliest of all (by a the width of a Marathon XR tyre).  If I didn't point this out she's be upset.  I'm sure you understand

With the headlamp bracket on the LH side I wonder where the tandem originates from.

My tandem is a Raleigh. it has been suggested that the headlamp bracket was on the left so as to light the side of the road - more useful for the rider.

I did painstakingly use a piercing saw cut a right handed one out of steel - including the Raleigh heron, but decided to keep the original fitted.

Were they actually ever produced in 'domestic' and 'export' versions?

Dunno, but they only produced them for 1 year (1937)

I'd just pulled on to the pavement to talk to Jin Jin who took the photo I then had to get back on the road where the pedestrian crossing is mr officer sir honest

It's amazing how a low sun can make shadows longer than the object casting them.

In loving memory of wild swimming in the Bell River Gorge, Mitchell River High Planes and Kakadu.
In one of them you will see me flying (on the right)

That last one looks like a 1980's cover shot from Gay Times
