Re: Re: ^ yeah i've heard people say that.. it's got some aspects similar to Off Road Toad but it's not one of those that thought had crossed my mind :D the fillets could use a bit of smoothing down too.. that's all in the future though if I decide to repaint yes this is a strong...

Re: yes I suspect something "homemade" too, though if this was their only frame, it certainly was ambitious. The cable guide is a metal tube brazed in. I'm not sure what is up with the screw in the BB shell.. the BB is stuck so right now that mystery has to wait If i decide this frame is a...

Re: Re: Yes.. i am kicking myself for not buying a few reproduction Turbo saddles when i saw them on sale recently, two matching turbos would look really nice. The mismatched saddles is something that is bugging me. I've already sorted the stem and bars and have a wheelset i will swap on...

I was lucky enough to purchase this yesterday from the original owner, former Ritchey team member Jim Sullivan. I have owned two other tandems including a nice Burley and this one blows it away in both ride quality and of course craftsmanship. It doesn't hurt that it's my favorite color too...
