Thanks for the help. I was pretty sure that I was not going to want to put a lot of money into it, but the tires hold air, and once I get some of the rust off it should be an enjoyable little ride. Thanks for the info and if my wife and I like it maybe wheel will get a "real" tandem one day. But for 50 dollars I did not feel like I could pass it up since it is in rideable condition!
