Any one looking for a classic tandem?

Built in 1965, fillet brazed 531, with the proper Reynolds tandem flat tube between the brackets. Original bronze paint, more white box lining than you can imagine. Taylor built, colour matched racks front and back. Lucifer dynamo with internal cable routing. taylor built custom stems. Mafac tandem cantis, with Mafac tandem brake levers. Stronglight 49D tandem cross over cranks. Campag shifters and front mech (has a replacement suntour rear mech) Vertical drop outs. Maxicar tandem hubs with rear drum brake. 23" front 22" rear. Weinmann 650B rims, michelin tyres. Aluminium fenders. Handlebar bag with chromed mounting bracket, engraved with the former owners name. Brooks b17 saddles. Twin bolt seat posts. It rides very nicely, I took it for a 100 miler a few sundays ago, along with about 20 miles in a pace line. It tours well and handled the speed work quite well. Very plush ride, I had wondered about keeping it and doing the PBP on it next year.

Cost is $1340. This does not include shipping. Shipping would be at cost and I have never shipped a tandem so I do not know how much it will cost perhaps others could advise. If you are really interested I can work out a shipping cost. It would need quite a lot of disassembly but as the bike has been extremely well maintained, this would not be a problem.
