The interesting photos show details of the fillet brazed construction that closely resemble the construction of my Town and Country tandem.
Item # 120329578794 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Well, David, looking at the pix, a smile came to my face thinking about stripping the paint from one of our Town & Country tandems way back when. The fillets looked lovely under the factory paint. Nice and smooth, but that wasn't done quite the way the brothers Jack Taylor did it in the Olde Sod. As my propane torch flame flickered across the joint, the lead melted and flowed out from under it... :-(
This was ironic, because one of the features of this bike was that its original owner, Bill Lovely of East Providence RI, had carefully drilled the brake levers and some other stuff to reduce weight a bit.
