We sold about a dozen Lejeune tandems at Bicyclesport in 1974. (Bicyclesport was the forerunner of Bicycle Specialties). I still have one of them. They sold for $1,100 and were all spoken for before they arrived. I did many great tours on mine including a wonderful trip over the French Alps with my eight year old son on the back. The high-light of the trip was the ascent of the Ventoux. It would be interesting to know how Ken Wallace's one got to Tucson. Mike Barry. Bicycle Specialties, Toronto.
