Current incarnation- built up some fresh wheels with some Phil Wood tandem hubs I scored pretty cheap and a set of NOS Mavic Mod 4 rims. Tight squeeze with 38c tires and fenders, but it works. The Cyclones ended up on my Trek, but the V-GT Luxe RD and Vx FD with bar-cons work great (and bar-end shifters sure are nicer on a tandem than reaching to the down-tube....). I'm not sure the sprung Brooks captain's saddle will stay, but it's what I had on hand. Eventually I want to try a front rack that'll take some panniers (assuming I can convince my stoker to go on enough/long-enough rides to justify). Fender lines still need a little tweaking...... when I get around to it.......
