First things first is a big thank to LGF who spotted this on Ebay watch last weekend , maybe its Karma for spotting Sinnetts Dyna-Tech for him but never the less I am very thankfull to LGF 8)

I have been after a Tandem for a while and this is just perfect. I still cant get over how long this thing is.

Anyway, It is in very good condition and needs a small amount of of cleaning to get it looking tip top, I have another rolls on its way (thanks to madcowkev) It has at somepoint had JUDY SL's added that are for 26" wheels and I dont think I will be happy with these forks as there is zero clearance above tyre and the brakes are not able to cope with a higher rim. The Rims are 700D which as I have found are a propriotry size to GT tandems :?

I am yet to ride it as I have a back injury that is annoying the hell out of me at the moment.

The funniest part is it still says triple triangle on the rear ............................ I can see at least 5 :lol:

I will get a full spec later but its full DX with 3x DX chainsets 8)

Cheers and Enjoy
