Neanderthal77

Wore out three sets of tires already!
I picked this tandem up today, been wanting one for a while. Thinking it is a 38' from the serial. Fenders, stems and bars are incorrect. Seats are trashed. Would this have had the turkey leg chain gaurds? It has heavy duty wheels and front hub. Any information is greatly appreciated.

I love those old steer from the rear tandems. Yours has some a good look to it also.
 
Got it stripped down to to start cleaning. The fork has a nice bend in it. What would be the best way to repair the fork? I am going to try and take apart the front crank. It does spin nice but you can hear that it needs to be regreased.

Forgot to update this post so doing a quick update. After taking it apart I started cleaning up the parts. The fork was bent forward which bent the truss rods, bracket and guides on the fork. So not sure what happened but I'm sure it was a hold our beers moment. Had a black pair of Monark fenders so I used them over the crusty chrome. Had to replace the chain on the rear steer mechanism. It came together pretty well.

Over the next couple weeks it was put back together. A pair of John's chain tread tires for easier riding. A lot of non original parts but this has turned into one of my favorite riders.
