Ultrashort

[phil653]

Spotted this on fleabay, but sadly have zero possibilities of getting to London to pick it up, nor thereafter getting it out here to Spain. Otherwise I'd love to own and refurb it with modern kit. Anyone else who might be interested can find it at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Claud-Butler-Tandem-Vintage-/291282823898?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item43

Meanwhile, I'll keep dreaming. Sniff...

Well blow me down, these things are like London buses. You wait for one and then with that a second one comes along...   This time with a track fork crown and fixed wheel. Only for very confident captain/stoker teams.
Or is it that they're just more common than I thought?  There's a CB ultrashort triplet on there too at present.

USWBs seem to have been built in everything from gaspipe to Reynold's best. The good ones are rarer.
