Aubergine, Thanks!
Didn't think of Craigslist. I will have to ask my daughter in Tours about leboncoin.fr, is this a French bike site? I think Herse will be out of our financial reach, though a really cool tandem which was highlighted in the last Bike Quarterly issue. We too love old steel and find the ride of the two steel tandems we have owned great. I will do research on the Gitane and Motobecane tandems, any other makes to consider?
Thanks again.
