That Specialized is my GF's, I log a lot of miles on the Fatback this time of year. I sold the Cdale and bought the Burley, I now ride the Vitus and will be on my mystery Italian when it's done. Still need to redo the stoker position on the tandem and cable it. Can't wait to see your tandem. What did you end up doing with the braking?
Running original Phil Wood discs with the rear set up to a friction thumb shifter as a drag and a dual pivot caliper on the front. All three controlled by the captain. We only got a few rides in before the cold, but it worked well. I had my dad get a couple 1/8" mild steel plates cut with the water-jet out in the shop at his work to sandwich the seatstays and allow a long-reach recessed nut caliper to be used. I haven't cabled it yet but it should work fine.
