Hi all,
Looking for some help ID'ing an old tandem I just acquired. It's a fillet brazed frame w/ some interesting features that might help someone recognize it. Please check out the linked pics. and I'd love to answer any questions or supply additional photos/ info.
Unusual older Simplex rear derailleur is hung on equally unusual, and nicely executed hanger. The front rack closely resembles one I spotted on a 40's Singer, although I believe this bike to be closer to late 50's early 60's. The other braze-ons are the shifter bosses, cable guides and pump nib. BB shell has grease fitting.
Any ideas? I'd love to give it an identity (correct decal set) after I repaint it!
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
