I stared the rebuild several years back but got distracted by life. The first picture is not my bike but it shows what the Columbia Mountain Tandem started out as.
Last year I started over on it. I re-sanded it and primed sanded and re-primed till smooth. Then painted it a bright orange. The rims were pro built with all heavy duty parts using the original hubs so I could keep the drum brake
The Tandem was built on a Columbia frame. New parts are custom made heavy duty wheel set with drum brake on back. Michelin Country Rock 26 X 1.75 tires. Odyssey front brake with Tektro levers. Grips, thumb shifter, bars, stems, cables and housings, seat post, seat, seat clamps and pedals. It has the original drive train completely cleaned and repacked. Frame measurement front and rear is 19.5 inches. It has reflectors front and back and a bell! This not a hardcore Mt. bike but more of a good around town bike that can get off into the gravel without problems.
This bike rides like a limousine, smooth and comfortable. The tandem is the only bike I have for sale. I would like to sell it to make room for the perfect number of bikes….one more! I am asking $400. It was on Craig’s list for $450. Let me know if you have any interest in it. Call Steve at 574-834-4094
