Tandem Rebuild

Pictures above are of one of this summer’s rebuilds. I started with a 1970’s something Columbia tandem that had been given to me years ago. Not the one in picture, mine was much worse. I stripped it down to bare metal and repainted it. Then I turned it into a Mountain Bike style tandem. The biggest change is the new heavy duty rims built with the old hubs and drum brake. It is amazing how good a ride you get from it. The 50# plus weight give it a ride more like a limo compared to a small car.
