Bob Jackson USB Tandem, size 23.5 inch; front 22 inch; rear in Reynolds 531 tubing.
TA cranks front and rear.
TA triple chainset
7 speed block
SRAM shifters
Cantilever brakes front and rear plus a caliper brake on the rear which is activated by the stoker
New 35 mm Schwalbe Landcruiser tyres
Blackburn rack
Basic toolkit and pump included

I'm 6'4 and I'm right on the limit for this tandem - it really would be better suited to a rider in the 5'8 - 6'2 range. My wife is 5'7 and the stoker position is perfect for her.
There's some flaking around the fork crown - I've tried to show it in the photo and the price reflects that this may need to be sorted. The forks are sound.
There's also a small issue with the front mech cable rubbing on the rear tyre in certain gears. The original rear tyre was 32mm and I should have checked the clearance before putting on a new 35mm tyre. Switching back to a 32mm tyre should fix it.
Could do with a bit of a clean too.

Real bargain at £600. 20170904_134422[1].jpg 20170904_134448[2].jpg Collection only from County Durham.
 
This looks lovely - and very nicely priced! Someone will be very happy with this.
