Orbit Tandem

[Meejoir]

I’ve refurbished all sorts of bikes over the last 12 years or so, but this just fell into my garage over Christmas (you know how it is).

I was hoping there might be some tandem or Orbit experts about who might be able to identify which model I have? Looking on the t’interweb she seems an unusual design with the lower top tube for the stoker. Better still if there’s an old catalogue uploaded somewhere. I’ve contacted orbit directly but it was before their time.

Definitely an Orbit, Reynolds 531 and probably mid 80s componentry (Suntour XCT and some Shimano of that era). Any help in identifying the old girl would be gratefully appreciated.

I'd say it was a dad n lad job
A 6ft plus pilot with a child at the back

It’s a bit of an optical illusion as the saddle goes quite a way up and there’s an length of leg room for my good lady wife stoker
