Due to poor health, I am reluctantly offering this exceptional tandem for sale. It has been a much-loved vehicle for our family, and I hope it brings its next owner as much joy as it gave us. Personally ordered from and built by Robin Thorn (Serial No: 200312006), this "Long/Short" aluminium frame is the ultimate setup for a tall captain and a child or petite adult stoker.
Key Features:
• Child-Back Style: 16.5" rear seat tube, adjustable stoker stem, and specialized 150mm short-reach rear cranks for a perfect, safe fit for smaller riders.
• Maximum Gearing: A "wide as possible" 3x8 (24-gear) range controlled by intuitive GripShift on flat bars—conquers any hill.
• Premium Comfort: Upgraded with genuine Brooks Sprung Leather saddles (small profile on rear) and high-volume Schwalbe Hurricane 2.1" tyres for a beautifully cushioned ride. Brooks Flyer saddles front and (Short) rear tensioning tool included.
• Heavy Duty: 36-spoke wheels for maximum strength and reliability.
• Touring Ready: Includes high-capacity Thorn front and rear pannier racks.
Condition:
Very Good condition throughout. Professionally serviced with brand new chains and a new rear derailleur; it has been ridden only once since.
Sizing:
Front Seat Tube: 21" (32" Standover) | Rear Seat Tube: 16.5" (27" Standover).
• Extras: Thorn high-capacity racks (F+R), adjustable stoker stem.
Service History:
Major service 2 years ago including new chains, brakes and rear derailleur. Only one ride since. Very Good condition.
Offers over £600.
