Dale,
Dr. Graves was a tall person from what I understand. Sterling Peters
used to own one of Dr. Graves' personal road bikes, and I believe the
frame was around 60cm or so. I'll verify when I have a moment. Also
JB painted a few of his personal bikes years ago and again, I think
they were pretty tall frames. I'll make sure.
This tandem is probably the one that belongs to Dave Taitano of "Ye
Olde Bicycle Place and Cafe" here in San Diego (the spot where I
often go for coffee in the morning). The bike was on display in the
shop for a while. I guess it's up for sale right now. It's
deffinitely way to big for Dave or anyone in his family. Dave told me
from whom he purchased the tandem when he first acquired it; but I
forgot where that was now.

In the description it says "This bike was originally owned by Dr.
Clifford Graves from La Jolla! "
I thought Dr. Graves was of medium/short stature? This bike looks
huge... Doesn't loo like he was the ride, although he may have owned
it....
