I took the day off work today to spend it with the other half as its her birthday,we was out in the car and decided to visit a second hand/junk shop,the sort with those little hidden gems and dark corners.well we did'nt even get in the door when we saw a vintage Dawes 501 framed tandem complete with guards and front pannier racks,everything looks to be in good order,its on Mavic rims and just needs some air in the tyres and a front seat.It needs a good scrub up but when the lady informed me she would like £80 for it nothing seemed relevant after that other than a bit haggling,£75 later and we now own a tandem,god knows why as we had never even contemplated ever owning one......ebay was springing to mind,now the other half has informed me she would be interested to give it a go so watch this space with regards to the tandems future.
Hav'nt picked it up yet as did'nt have room in the car but will post some pics up once its home.
