Not mine, just happened upon it in a brief fit of tandem-itis:

Black with white lug lining, paint is pretty good for an old bike, it has been used, there are paint blemish's from use,no bad nicks, dings or dents.

The bike rides and handle's exceptionally well.

TA triple crankset, Suntour derailleurs, fingertip shifters, Mafac cantilever brakes, Phil Wood/ Super Champion 48 spoke wheelset, Cinelli 105mm stem & 42cm, c-c handlebars. The stoker seatpost is adjustable for & aft, way cool! Current team is 5'10" & 5'2".

Bike is in SoCal. I will professionally pack this bike for no charge and can ship this, at buyers expense. I am a vintage cycling enthusiast, we had 5 vintage tandems at one point, so, I've been passing on a few of these bikes for others to enjoy as much as we have.
