Great! I am not a huge stickler for authenticity, and I want to actually ride this bike sometimes, so some later-style saddles, handlebars, and steel rims will not bother me.
I have always wanted a courting tandem but my exposure to antique bicycles has been minimal so your patience with me is appreciated in advance. I want a rider, not a museum piece. How hard is it to find things like saddles, handlebars, and pedals that will fit?
