Picked this up at Copake. I've been kind of wanting a tandem, but not actively looking for one. Both my wife & I really like the look of the 38 or so Colson, & she likes tandems,(more than I). The price was more than right on this one, and all the parts made of unobtainium are there, so here we go, off on another project. The seller, who was really nice guy, and
@bikejunk ,confirmed that it is a circa 1897 Crescent model 25. Looks to have been painted blue before the red, I'm assuming that it was originally black? I think it has some really cool design features. It's going to be interesting riding a two person fixie. Picked up some other goodies & left w/ less than I came with, a great day.
