oh how very cool.  but alas, gondawanaland reunification (http://www.livejournal.com/interests.bml?int=gondwanaland+reunification) is such a lost cause that it hasn't even attracted a second LJ user.  but that's OK: as projects go it has a longer time frame than most. 

LJ has a friend-of-a-friend view that I happened upon, in which was your entry and image link about a Schwinn tandem.  last October I happened upon an old Hawthorne tandem (http://www.livejournal.com/~15_the_circle/235659.html), described by my bike mechanic friend as a Montgomery Wards rebranding of a Huffy.  it's ancient, weighs a ton and is built like an army tank.  also loads of fun, though a bit short of roadworthy at present on account of needing its tyres replaced.  it is set up with a front handbrake and a rear coaster brake (allowing both to be engaged even if one happens to be out solo on it).
