Just need to wait until they deliver the correct build kit before a can put it together though. 😐

Training wheels and a dangly thing hanger? The pair of you are going all conventional all of a sudden! 😉

Like it though, should be plenty of fun in the Alps.

I might have a go at widening the chainstays/seatstays with only the aid of kitchen implements. 😆

A likely story!

Ask him nicely, I'm sure cynic-al will bring his spoon collection over and help you fashion the necessary "improvements" 😉

That's lovely. I'm a huge fan of SC.

She needs some nice 'roval' control wheels, light as a feather.

Kitchen implements are what we women carry around in our rucksacks - no?

After feeling how heavy Mrs ssstu's rucksack is i'd have to agree.

BTW.
You still getting out on the tandem?

Not as much as we'd like, how about you? May just dust off those cobwebs and give it a blast (read pootle) at the weekend.
Glad the snow didn't put you off.

Looks lovely, but how is going to fit her fat frontage on it?

*runs for cover and hides knowing that mrs ssstu had got the kicking of lifetime already saved up for me from last time I was cheeky*

Al, that's a Turner Sultan. It has a modded rear end. Pretty neat though.
