all these questions about tandem wheelsets reminds me that i have very nice set that might be of use to some on on the list. i am not sure of the date, they might just slightly be off topic, so if they are i appologise.

48 spoke tandem wheels. Never used. British made swallow hubs, sealed bearings, nice looking. (does any one now more about Swalloe hubs?) Anodised 700C (V dark Bronze) Japanese made rims, with the legend, "super hard" on them. Look like very nice quality. DT spokes.

I would guess a mid 80s vintage

The rear hub is threaded for a freewheel, but no extra brake. I guess they could even be used for a bomb proof touring or comuting bike, if you could get them in the frame.

Photos are available. $130 pluss shipping at cost (airmail to the Us would be $45)
