  We have a seatpost shim on ours so that we can use a standard threadless stem. We got an adjustable one so we could tweak it.
  Ultimately, it's a downside to older tandem frames, they kept the stoker right up your arse things compact to improve stiffness.

  DO IT.
  Tandems are the best and this is an excellent specimen. Old school steel aesthetic with new skool tandem-friendly features eg threadless stem, oversize tubing, sensible hub sizing etc.

  Might be very late to this, but a second hand/reconditioned S10e might work well. Otherwise, the A50 5G ticks those (excluding the last one - no idea on that).

  Various websites say the T bag doesn't work with the S bars - anyone have experience of that? Are they just being cautious, or is it a real no-go?

  So glad you said this - I thought I was going nuts!

  Decent NC is a must - the Jabra are well thought of for that and have similar pass-through features. I'll try to get hold of some WF-1000XM4 to see how they are.

  Thanks - that's confirming what I've read elsewhere that it's best to order a few and try them. I've got some Jabra Elite 85T arriving and had spotted that the WF-1000MX4 have just launched but I can't seem anywhere to buy them though, so it may end up a moot point.
  I hadn't come across scarbir - useful website.

  Are there any opinions on here about 'true wireless' earbuds? I've moved and will now be travelling in by train+bike rather than just bike, so my bone conduction headphones aren't really the right tool any more, despite them being excellent (Trekz Aeropex - thoroughly recommend).
