I just added a Schwinn Track tandem to the stable and am having a heck of a time finding any accurate info. Can anyone tell me what years Schwinn may have campained Tandem velo racing? I understand they built several for the '56 Olympics, there is a Black one on the web that was supposed to be one of them, Mine is White and looks identical. http://www.bikecult.com/works/archive/04bicycles/schwparaOTT.html
Chrome Moly fillet brazed, no ser.#, Campy seat pins and cranks ,very light for the time.
I am looking for pic's of how they were originally outfitted, or in race, and or a link to someone who might have more info.
I will be needing some inch pitch 12 tooth Campy chainrings (2) for this one, if anyone has some in the stash, need not be mint as I will be leaving this one in patina.
