The beautiful Ruby, the heart-stealing bright red tandem, needs a new home!
The stoker behind is no longer stoking so we have too many saddles.
Ruby has been as far as the Loire valley, entertaining the onlookers.
Ruby was hand-built by Settle cycles we think in the 1980s, hence the classic style.  She is built from Reynolds 531 tubing and weighs only 21kg.  She has 3x6 derailleur Suntour gears, making for some exciting speeds if desired. As well as caliper brakes on both wheels there is a separate drum brake on the rear wheel, adding to braking safety.
Frame size: Front-53cm  top of seat tube to centre of bottom bracket.  Rear-47cm
However, we are including new extra long seat posts, long handlebar quill and adjustable handlebar stem to give flexibility for different user heights.  Recent pilot is 1m92 (6ft 3in).  The original parts are also included.
Overall length is 228cm including both wheels and tyres. Wheels are quickly removed for transport.
She has matching red dustcaps.  What more could you ask!
