Following on from the STW advert at the top of the page, lets see your on/off road, rigid suspension tandems.
I don’t know what it is about tandems they always make me smile, and no I don’t own one

All tandems have been banned.

In action

Before and after shot of bouncy forkness

If someone can host me a couple of images I can bang up one of the old Los Dos on which we started Tandaming and then the new Ventana with S&S couplings.

I lurve Tandems me!

Photobucket’s your friend, or imageshack as you don’t even need to register for that

ahhh but I am at work so they ban stuff like that I’m afraid. No fun to be had here!
😛

not mine (would have been if i’d had the space, money, bravery and a willing stoker) but this was for sale a little while ago over on LFGSS.

mail me your pics and I’ll put them on imageshack for you – mail in profile

huws, that looks a bit uncomfortable for the stoker

Now cleaner, and with Mary bars on the front 🙂

Thanks. The mud build up that day left us with three working gears at the end: fortunately middle ring and three in the center of the block.

Them tyres were just too big for the frame.

Thank NBT. Not that I can see what you have hosted for me as it is blocked from work. Could be any old bus! 😀

Ooh ooh great photos.

We rode our second ever tandem night ride last night and nbt cleared a very tricky descent, was stoked up after (get it?) had my heart rate up I can tell you. Went to bed feeling very happy.

I think the time where my heart rate really goes up (not effort related) is when the back end goes and I think I’m about to be overtaken by the stoker. Its errrrr exciting when piloting so goodness knows what that feels like when you are the stoker!

Question for all stokers:

I find that without a crud catcher on a frame tube somewhere, I’m getting wet and cold from spray and mud coming up from the front/middle. Where should I put one (have one on the back tyre, so that bit is fine)?

We have one on the front down tube, I think TJ&J do too.

Just found this old thread and thought I’d post some pictures of our Lapierre.

This collection wouldn’t be complete without….

I really must sell the old one, 1950s Dawes

Not mine, but I am driving.

Is that Aires Rock?

Bloody good effort!!!

First big Trip out on the Forth Road Bridge!

Peterfile- it is, yeah. Bloomin’ terrifying but lots of fun.

Love the Lapierre

Go on then. En route Norway to Greece couple of years ago:

there’s two young school age lads, brothers I’m guessing, round here riding around on some sort of bmx style tandem the last few days..

which makes me smile

On a day out to Kemble Airfield

boblo … Norway to Greece

very retro but owned from new – taking off kiddie cranks and horns and putting original stoker bars back on

off road tandem Bob Jackson, looks a bit like singlespeedstu’s

quite an old pic – the one on the back now gets the seat with the pedals more often than not.

The collection wouldn’t be complete without more

First big Trip out on the Forth Road Bridge!

Good stuff 😉

The only S&S-equipped Pino in the world, that one…

No not him!
