Dawes 1993 Double Edge Tandem

[tiboltrider]

I've been down the garage fiddling with my latest purchase today. It was set up for touring but I want to take it off road. So I've changed the tyres, removed bottle cages (x4), mudgaurds, replaced the damaged front mech and set up the cranks properly.

I'm looking for volunteers to go on the back with their own full body armour and life insurance (please note interest on here).

I last rode a tandem 15 years ago and have been looking for a suitable one for the last couple of years.

Here it is:

Whats that on the rear hub?

Nice tandem, but the real question is, can you endo it???!!!!

Look forward to the inpatient photos.

Will enter them in the "show us your gash" thread!!!



FINGERS - It's a drum brake for the stoker operated by a 200gs lever on their handlebar. Kinda like a Jesus lever!

Yep, it's in ace condition for a 17 year old bike. Must have spent most of its life sitting in the garage.
