I’m having real issues finding a stem for the stoker. Needs to fit a 25mm seatpost and c 26mm bars. Has anyone here replaced one and if so where from?!
I’m now considering trying to get one machined up for me! -
Haha I’m not surprised! They feel just like slightly heavy cloth - a few small drybags inside perhaps...
It needs new cables throughout and new brake pads to make it slightly less terrifying ha, but looking forward to getting it up and running! -
Yep came with the ones pictured! Should be good for some weekend jaunts.
Also came with that rather lovely brooks england flyer in stokers position (I think that’s what it is anyway) -
I think that’s exactly what it suggests. I’m going to find a new seatpost (it’s quite small, a 25.4 from the box didn’t fit) and a stem for the stokers bars and see if there’s an issue. Current seatpost / stem is integrated so I can’t get my saddle high enough without the mrs being in a weird geometry. Remnants of weld visible at the front:

I too am the proud owner of a tandem, as of today! Got it home only to find that the previous owner has helpfully welded, actually welded, the drivers seatpost into position. Managed to grind it away and free the seatpost relatively easily but was a bit annoying!

Hahah well great, wish you’d told me this back in July!
That’s what you get for not knowing your vintage components I guess...
No skin off my nose though, I didn’t lose any money -
All long gone I’m afraid.

Btw, the seatpost did fit, and is solid as a rock, so god knows why previous owner welded the original post in...
(I will be replacing the old shitty saddle with a matching brooks)
