R+E tandem: mid 80s

I don't start many new threads, but I was asking Bulgie if maybe he built this tandem. Apparently it was built just after he left R+E, but his spirit is probably in the frame, since he trained his descendants. He asked me to post photos here.

This bike has been around, climbed in the Sierras (CA), the Green Mountains (VT), and even crossed the Alps once. Shipping a tandem is not for the faint of heart, but then I suppose crossing the Alps on tandem with a baby in a trailer (and diapers, etc.) isn't either. Here are some photos in its current form.


sloping top tube before they were in style!
