Can you tell me a bit about the bars.
Are they vintage ones or are the front ones what are now called "moustache" bars and still available to purchase.
Thanks.

The bars are vintage but not original. They are called Shallow Highgate - very similar to Lauterwasser bars. I could only find 16" ones and the original would have had 18".

There Is a webpage about my tandem here.

If you look very carefully, you may spot it in the latest Stella Artois advert.

Of course this depends where you are...

There's a posting on the tandem club message board which says it is illegal to ride solo on a tandem 'in parts of Japan'.

Can't post an exact link but if you go here and http://www.tandem-club.org.uk/_dboard.htm and search for Tandemist stopped by Police, you can read the thread!
