So I got hold of a Landescape tandem frame for £150. Using this as the canvas for a lovely comfortable touring bike for when I go cycle touring with my partner. I have had a few tandem bikes in the past and we have had some good holidays on them. The most memorable riding back from Spain following the Velodessey route up the West Coast of France. It was an amazing trip. This build so far includes:
FSA Headset - www.fullspeedahead.com
Ryde Rims - www.ryde.nl
Shimano Hubs - www.shimano.com/en/
Schwalbe Tyres - www.schwalbe.com/en/start
Jones H Bar - jonesbikes.com
Stronglight square taper bottom brackets and cranks - stronglight.com/en/
Most of this stuff was bought from SJS Cycles. Highly reccomnd their products and price for anything to do with parts for touring, Bikepacking and commuting.

If you watch @PathLessPedaledTV like me you will be looking for cheap, reliable parts you will find many cranks and chainrings to make up your wide range doubles. I recently made up a White Industries crank with a 24/44 double that worked a treat. You can find parts to achieve the same goal from SJS. Not sponsored by them, just really appreciate their approach to the parts they sell.
