It then went to fBay and was sold three times to a buyer with 0 purchase history here,
here and here.
It's back up on fBay again with it's location as Quzhou which is quite a long way to travel from Southbank

The previous "legit" listings were pretty much a scam too with the fake bidstrailgumby wrote:That current listing is a scam.

Interesting chainring - looks to be a 1/2 step & then what is either a serious bailout gear or second timing chain.

Trouble was, my old man didn't tell me about it until 4 hours AFTER the auction was due to start

I found a photo of said Tom Wallace tandem, looks ok but not spectacular so i feel a bit better about missing the sale.

I'd have thought that you'd be more disappointed about the Miele triplet, at least in a year or so...ldrcycles wrote:No he just forgot. My mother on the other hand...

That one is a beauty Bruce. If it was in Melbourne I'd be all over it despite my lack of need, or a stoker who can really fit (my wife would need the saddle sitting on the top tube). The half-step and granny chainrings were a common enough setup on touring bikes. They work well with larger jumps between cogs on the rear. I would expect that the cluster is a 14-28. As you would know, when you need low gears on a tandem, you really need low gears.find_bruce wrote:For tandem lovers Vintage Blackman Tandem Bicycle - too big for me or I wouldn't be listing it here.

I really like the customized seat post angle.ldrcycles wrote:Nothing fancy but rare all the same, a Guthrie era "Swift". From the photos it looks to be identical to the Madison SR10, i'm guessing Guthrie were doing some British Leyland type badge engineering

Yes, nice condition but way overpriced. Mid you I would give him a 'pineapple' for the derailleurs...ldrcycles wrote:Nothing fancy but rare all the same, a Guthrie era "Swift".

Maybe not as impressive as the Super Speed that sold for$1,225 recently, but very nice nonetheless.

I especially like the Lenroc.
Internet tells me it was sold by Scammells back in 2012 and was billed as a 1916 Lenroc Professional Grade Reynolds 531 - looks like it's picked up a bit a rust since then...
