The tandem in the picks is now mine and it proving very difficult to identify it as I am new to the tandem.
I am going to completely refurbish it it has a badge halfords and major on the frame
Across the wheel is24" back and front with 40 spokes to the back and 32 to the front .under the back seat is xc3288 and under the front seat
Where do I start? How can I get the info so I know what size things are thanks in advance
Regards paul

This looks like 2 frames welded together so check it for alignment!

 

[goodeyebig]

It said halfords major on the frame . But I will set up 2 lasers and see
But that will be in 3 weeks
Thanks for the idea and info
Regards paul

This isn't too far from me.

It's a Peugeot in bits. I know nothing about Peugeots, so been trying to research it.
Model is PE10NS50
I think that's a 50cm frame, and if so quite small?

Carbolite frame, which seem to attract mixed reactions.
The ANC Halfords team existed between 1985 - 87, and used Campag components on the team bikes.
From the available pics I can't tell what the components are.
Did Peugeot sell a low end bike which looked like the team bikes?

So is this worth a punt? Anything good or desirable about this?

Carbolite 103 was around in my era, I think it was developed to be tig welded but may be wrong. Not light, seemed to be on lowish end bikes......seem to remember the frames bring pretty crash resistant

they make great retro rides tough as old boots

i had a Peugeot ANC halfords, i think mine was HLE, not carbolight (not sure of the difference?) Year of purchase would have been around 87. The saddle pictured there is identical to the one i had on mine. It had Weinmann rims.

They were sold through Halfords, it is a low end bike, i can't remember what the running gear was, but most likely Sachs Hurret.

I loved it as a teenager when everyone else was riding cheap mtbs that never went off road, if it close and under £30, bit of tlc would make a nice enough bike.

 

[Oldfentiger]

Thanks for all the replies.
I guess my biggest concern is the frame size.
I think the number PE10NS 50 points it to being 50cm.
At 5'8" I normally ride 54cm.
Could work for my 5'4" missus though.

I nearly pulled the trigger on this one .... never sold the 1st time on ebay and the seller has relisted (I bought an S-Works E5 instead)...
