WTB Triple Tandem (Adult)

Fiontan Ruane2025-07-20 12:32:07

Hey all,

Hoping to organise a charity ride based around a triplet bike but they're so hard to come by. I was wondering if anyone might be selling one or could recommend me someone who specialises in triplets.

 

Thanks for your help,

Fiontan

Hi Fiontan 

I know that Bury Tandem club have a triple, so you could maybe ask them whence they got it.

Whereabouts in the UK are you?  Are you interested in a loan rather than buying?

Thanks Sue, I will ask

Hello Fiontan, 

 

We have a triplet that we would be willing to sell. It is a Thorn built from 531 tubing and suits 3 adults although probably limited to someone 5'9" tall Max, on the rear. 26" wheels. Currently set up with 10 x 3 gearing with bar-end shifters. 

I can send more info/photos if you might be interested. 

 

Best wishes John and Kay Fazakerley

Hey Peter, would gladly consider a loan.

Thanks, Fiontan

Hey John and Kay,

That sounds fantastic. Please do send across more info/photos/price - I would be really interested. 

 

Thanks,

Fiontan

Fiontan - I used to own a triplet - see https://tandem-club.org.uk/files/members/journals/54/journal.pdf page 28.  If you get stuck I could ask the new owners if they would consider a loan, dependent on the particular charity.  But you might be better off with a newer machine that you own, especially if you need to make modifications.

Hi Fiontan,

Sorry for the delay, I will be able to take some current photos in a couple of days and assess condition for price. But I gave it a good service quite recently, so am confident it will be good to go!

Hello Fiontan,

Sorry for the delay, we were away from home, so didn't have access to the triplet for photos. I have just dusted it down and taken some photos. If you are still looking, probably the easiest would be for me to send them via whatsapp. If you message me on 07581630033 I can return message with photos. But to give you some idea, we are looking for about £550.00 

Best wishes

John
