My Taylor tandem. An actual barn find, thrown on Ebay with local pickup only in northern NH. I remember sniping the auction and then getting the call from the seller during a loud holiday party to arrange pickup. So exciting!

I met the seller in a mall parking lot. I couldn't really believe it until I'd gotten it in the back of the Volvo.

Pictured more-or-less as-found, although I had replaced the rusty steel rims and cracked flat tires by the time I took this picture. 5-speed Cyclo, Maxicar, Lefol, first-gen MAFAC (written M.A.F.A.C.), Brampton, Stronglight, Simplex, GB, the whole package. I paid less for the whole bike than the rear hub is worth on its own.
