Hi

 

I bought this at the cycling eroica festival last weekend. It looks like it is circa 1980 and was possibly set up for racing. The decals say

 

S.A.B. Tandem Club

and

 

In memory of Alan Brock

 

So I am guessing it is one off built to commemorate a well known local cyclist to the club.

 

can anyone provide any provenace for this bike? It is in basically good nick.

 

many thanks

Hi Phil,

 

This looks like a Claud Butler Majestic Two (the same as we ride) which I think was around from 1985 onwards. Its a lightweight tourer which should also have an Arai drum brake on the rear. They ride very well. Sadly I can't help with the provenance of this particular bike and its decals.
