I noticed what looks like brake or gear cable housing running between the front and rear pedals. Those tandem riders out there know starting off is quite an act of synchronisation. We used Bunji cords to keep the pedals right side up (and thought we had come up with this in 1973 or so) Now I see this setup which makes me wonder when it did appear and what was used.

PS Sunday we had a great group ride with 12 riders special mention to Tom Hardy on a wonderful Gios (and Tom Hardy lettered on the TT) also Brian Fessenden rode his fantastic Moltini Orange Pogliaghi .Pictures are up on wooljersey, just search under latest updates in the Gallery section.
                                    Another question, we came across a couple of riders who had vintage interests and short of trying to remember names and email addresses has anyone done up cards to hand out to potential fellow Vintage Riders (and CR members)?
