Globetrotter Kilimanjaro?

Does anyone know the year of production of this bike, I've had a look but can't find any information on it.






And no date on the frame.

I found it on a walk near a wooded area between Marple and Stockport incase anyone's lost one

1990's as a guess.

I agree with @fossyant. We made our first tandem ride on a Pashley hired from a guy in Princes Risborough. He sold Globetrotter tandems, but they were worth too much to hire out

That was in 1990

1990's as a guess.

Agree

I'd second (well 3rd) that

V-brakes came along in 1996, so a little prior to that I guess.

Cheers, what is that brake type called?

Cantis - work well when set up right. Are deadly when not ! Got two bikes with them, including an alloy/carbon CX bike that needs a bit more fine 'tuning' - brake judder is a bit of an issue on a lightweight frame/fork.

Yes, I tried adjusting them a bit when I got home, they are pernickety.
