I know a guy in Santa Ana Ca. who has a steer from the rear tandem, said it was complete for around 1000. Where are you?

I would get pictures and post them here so we can tell if it is complete with correct parts.

If Circa1939 has interest I will go bother him. Otherwise, I dont want to just for the sake of debating/discussing it. You know those old bike collectors...lol

I appreciate the offer, but I actually could have had a decent tandem for $600,.... I had passed because I had seen a very, very nice one go off ebay last year for approx. 400-450. Just out of curiosity though,... what make is your friend's rear steer?

He told me it was a Colson. Actually he has 2 of them, one real nice, the other not so. He claimed to have a 28 inch tire tandem. I know he has a poopload of old bikes, I did not see that one.

This one is about 2 hours or so from me. I could probably help someone with picking this up if need be. In fact, I'll be about 40 minutes from here either tomorrow or Saturday picking up a bike for my wife.
