Bikes: Ron Cooper touring, 1959 Jack Taylor 650b ladyback touring tandem, Vitus 979, Joe Bell painted Claud Butler Dalesman, Colin Laing curved tube tandem, heavily-Dilberted 1982 Trek 6xx, René Herse tandem

Here's mine. I toured on it all around Europe as a teenager, with horrible MA3 rims, clamp-on Blackburn racks, and Campy sidepulls (broke two rims and two racks in 6 months and Swiss and Welsh descents were pretty scary not being able to stop properly), so when I finally became gainfully employed I had it all repainted, got some braze-ons, and put some proper touring equipment on.



It works well, but the rear fenderline is bothering me. I want to take it apart again and move the seat stay bridge a bit higher, and braze on some posts for the Paul Racers now that I can braze things myself.

I do love the way it rides. Something intangible about it, I don't really know. My Jack Taylor also has this, my Holdsworth/Claud Butler doesn't.
