A regular ladyback would be ok too, not holding my breath.
Following closely along from here on out, hope this goes very well.
Stoker locked and loaded?
Needs better brakes long ago IMO, front hub, BB's Phil too?
Looks like the original crew binned the Crane GS RD, good call, mine sucks on my regular Paramount.
I have a stoker, although I'm not sure how stoked she is about the whole idea. We like to canoe rather than kayak, so I'm hoping sharing the same frame will have some of the same appeal as a shared hull.
This is the larger stock frame at 24" front/22" rear. The smaller frame is 22"/19" and I think it has a straight stoker seat tube which allows the seatpost room for adjustment.
The component line-up says 1979. Aside from the saddles and pedals, the RD has been changed out to a Shimano Light Action. Interesting that the SunTour VGT was spec'd for this year.
Phil in front, too! Not sure what that plastic ring is for on the threads.
