The Contis kept blowing off the old rims, so when I had the wheels rebuilt, I bought a set of 35c RibMos from Panaracer. There was clearance enough for 37, but I have some pics of the current tires...

I was soft-pedaling the refurb on our Santana for a bit, as she hadn't seemed all that interested in riding. Over the last couple of weeks, however, she's been getting back on her road bike, and...

They do look nice. Ours has Deore cranks. Good stuff, but not a lot of 'classic pretty' looks.

Well, after talking with Jack at the central AL tandem shop, I'm informed that the front rim is probably ok. The stock rims that came with this bike were a little concave from the factory.
I'll...

Speaking of color... the back half of the bike is scratched and chipped up a bit, spd cleats can be murder on paint. Need to find some touch up paint in this color. I can't justify the budget for a...

Cool. I wasn't sure about the color when we bought it, but getting a good deal on a used tandem that's exactly the right sizes... we jumped on it.
The color just kinda grew on us. :)

I agree. I think my first wheel will be on one of my single bikes. Perhaps Jake. The front rim is brake-worn, but the hub is in good shape. 32h front oughta be a good 'starter' wheelbuild.

I have the new bar tape in hand, one more saddle on the way (we're going B17 front and back), and tires are standing by.

I should have inspected the old girl a little more closely before buying...

Looks like it isn't such a 'vintage' look compared to the newer Arriva. Nice to have such a timeless bike. :)

I'm waiting for some brifters for Jake, currently in NM with the Montague visiting...

Sure, I'll check with 'em. It's, I think, an early '90s bike, but it'd sure be nice if I could match the color.

Nice. The skinwall tires look good on the classics, too. I have another set of Pasela TGs for the tandem, as these are a little brittle with age. I don't think I've ridden more than a few yards...

I can see that color scheme being very distinctive, all right.
I'd originally looked at some of the lace-on wraps, and figured, for the price, I'd be able to get bar tape cheaper, and well done...
