Yup merlinextraligh, thats my tandem before the overhaul. Right now it is down to the frame, getting any welds I dont like taken care of and then repainted. Have new bearings and cups for the cranks and bearings for the wheels, going tomorrow for the headset bearings and cups. Synthetic grease for them all (it's all I buy for working on cars) It has 36 spoke wheels, and I am deciding what I am going to do for brakes still. For training, I'll ride unloaded with the front center-pull brake I got off a 35 year old schwinn, and seeing if my local bike shop can get the lining for the rear band brake.
Why do u say "prayer"? I cant see any reason why this bike cant be a safe reliable ride for my trip, but I sure am open to anyones insight.

If so, I think the answer is prayer.
