Late 70's Globetrotter

2020-10-12 13:45:55

Hi all,

I'm new on here and have joined to learn more about my tandem (photo's attached).

We have a Globetrotter from the London Tandem Centre. Bought in 1980 second hand and originally in a yellow gold colour. Was used a lot by myself and various friends (and girlfriends) in the Cheshire area and on long 4 week trips in France / Holland during summer holidays when I was a student.

When I got married, (1991) the tandem became forgotten as my wife was not a fan of being on the back of the bike. After multiple overseas postings, I decided to extract the Globetrotter from our shed and get it upgraded. in 2009, it was completely stripped and repainted bright blue (as seen) and many components changed (which I now regret). However, having paid a fortune for all the work, it remains unused and I should probably sell.

However, before doing so, I just wonder who might know something about the LTC and specifically the Globetrotter range.

Thanks in advance
