As promised here are a few pictures of the Paris-Brest tandem. The first five are before restoration, the rest are after. (I think Iīve found out how to attatch pictures to a message).
I finally got hold of the pedals, toe clips and straps after a long delay. Everythihg is put together now and Iīve been on the maiden run with my daughter as stoker. Everything worked perfectly but it certainly does handle differently to a modern tandem. Itīll take some getting used to.

Paintwork and decals are original.
New parts are saddles, saddle posts. tyres and tubes, front handlebars, front pedals and clips, brake cable hangers and kilometer counter.
Both luggage racks need rechroming but that will have to wait until thereīs a bit more cash on the bank account.

Very nice. Must be a real head-turner, eh?
