^Thanks, much appreciated.^

I have the bike pretty much together and tuned up. It rides surprisingly "light". But then again I am comparing it to a Deluxe Twinn.

The brakes are the main concern. Very weak, but I think some new pads might improve them to where I will feel comfortable. Went down to the LBS and got a rear brake cable. They had some beautiful tandems, 10 times the price I paid for this one, and that was for a used one. If I can persuade the wife to get out and ride a couple nights a week, who knows, maybe I'll be shopping for a nicer one. But for today I had quite a nice time cleaning adjusting, aligning the front fork, all kinds of fun. Now its time to see how she rides.
