Its good to see your feeling well enough to get back on the spanners.

The fabled IRC Mythos no less.

Reminds me of the Panaracer Trailrakers I used to run 20 odd years ago.

£50 I paid for it! It was in a right old state.

Then £10 for a donor Marin for brakes, derailleurs and shifters, £20 for two saddles, £20 cables and £20 chains. £40 for pedals, clips and straps. The cranksets were ok, and the rest from the parts bin.

I was imagining I'd make more £££ on it but these things don't go for very much these days. I'm guessing that the generation that were into tandems are getting on a bit, and lecky bikes have also impacted the market. So you can pick up a decent example for less than £400

I wish I'd discovered this before I spent several weeks getting it running!

lol

I've got a pair of Trailrakers in the shed awaiting a project. I love Panaracer tyres but never was a big fan of Trailrakers, they don't have much edge knob.
