Who else saw this funky tandem on ebay?
I don't get it, but I bought it. No clue what is going on with the stoker bottom bracket arrangement, or that brace / captain seatpost clamp setup.
It has a few pieces of hardware I can use, among them a good men's solo pedal and a "cord attachment" for the elusive Bevin Alarm.
Been working on ANOTHER tandem acquisition for a while that made it here this past week. This one is significantly more exciting but it will be a long road to Wellville.
This double diamond "double wishbone" seat tube frame has been discussed here on the CABE but it has been some years now so I look forward to bringing fresh energy and eyes to it.
I have most of the hardware that it was discovered with, I think the last few surviving pieces that I'm missing will be found, I can relate to misplacing tiny bits.
Not sure what it is yet, Graham, Fowler, and America are all obvious contenders but the use of D&J bottom brackets, Thor seatpost couplings, Ideal / Thor cooperative fittings and Orient? chainwheels really confuses the possible identity. Seemingly Fowler and America both used their own proprietary hardware quite consistently, I have yet to find an example (although I'm open to seeing them) of a Fowler or America bike using D&J bottom bracket hardware.
