Finally riding a big boys bike
Headline: Collector picks up first tandem! Guy says huzzah! Girl says uhmmm...
I've been looking for a tandem for a long time. I always thought a Schwinn would be nice because the colors are so great, but the prices are not. I like the older Huffys with the sweeping his-n-hers top tube, but I haven't found one I liked yet. After that it was either a bright yellow Huffy Sunny Day Ride or a not-red Daisy Daisy.
Well, here's my Daisy Daisy. I see these in red all the time, sometimes in aqua, but this Champaign and metallic brown combo is really neat. It comes from a wedding photographer, so it has an interesting history.
It's really nice and rides well as is. It even has, what I believe to be, the original Firestone Town & Country "SC" tires (made in USA). It needs daily driver tires, new brake pads, some coaster brake work, a rear reflector, and some TLC. That's it. Not sure how I'll move this around with my Honda, but we'll figure something out.
If you have a Huffy tandem please share it here! I'd love to see what's out there!
And if anyone can help decode my 70s Huffy S/N I'd appreciate it - 2H990949. 1972 maybe?
