  Get a decent power supply. The rest is pretty easy.
  I also heard that titanium welding rod makes excellent hangers for the parts.

  Have you considered the velo orange stuff?
  I have a pair of hammered VO-mudgards on my commuter and they were no harder to install than sks bluemels.

  The Thorn that was on DBA?
  I thought it looked like a good bargain.

  Upgrading to a disc brake on the front of the Orbit costs just 150£, which I thought was all right.
  We're going ahead with ordering through JD Tandems.

  First of all, we got rid of the horrible old gas pibe mtb that she had been riding and got her a lighter weight mixte and put on a mtb crank with 38-26 chainrings to lower the gearing.
  And when we're riding I carry most of the heavy stuff while she's carrying the lighter stuff in two small front panniers.

  And recently we've started looking for a tandem - she's always wanted one and it's a great fitness equalizer. Plus it makes it so much easier to talk while riding. I realize that a tandem is not for everyone tho.

  Depending on the fitness level of you GF you might want to consider the weight of the bike.
  My GF is rather small and thus struggled to get on with heavier bikes, especially carrying luggage.
