    Blatant thread hijack!!

    An elderly gent I know has two tandems in his loft; a Gitane and a LeJeune.

    Is there any market for these as he has no use for them any more?

    They'd both need a service/overhaul as they've being hanging/dry stored for years.

    my wife - a non-cyclist - has just taken a notion about us buying a tandem, maybe she expects i'll do most of the work.

    Absolutely people will buy. Tandems don't last long on done deal and I've been on the lookout for them

    I might be interested in one of those. I already cycle with a visually impaired stoker and I'm in the market for another machine.

    Any chance of a few photos / measurements of the tandems?

    My better half and I had a loan of a racing tandem a couple of years back and used it on the greenway here in Waterford, just for leisure spins.
    She's neither an experienced or accomplished cyclist by any means but we used to fly on it and it helped her gain a lot of cycling confidence.
