Thank you. The light you see on the photos where the Drifter is in it’s full bike packing regalia is a SON Edelux II. It’s dynamo powered from a SON delux hub dynamo.

Here’s my custom Naked that I had built up back in 2014. Sold all my other bikes after getting it and am still in love. This is from Spain this past summer.

Nice Naked. I just posted mine that I’ve had since 2014. I thought about getting a Naked X when I got a gravel bike last year but ultimately decided to get a Warbird.

This is a weird one but figure you Ti geeks might enjoy it:
Nic Crumpton and DEAN guys got together and this happened. They built one (maybe two?) of these and couldn’t get the price point to make sense. It was demo’d a few times then stripped down. Somewhere along the way Nic offered it for sale and I thought what the heck and bought it. He didn’t have the fork but it was designed around the Reynolds Ouzo Pro and it turned out Gary at IF had one on the shelf and offered it to complete the picture.

A couple of Funk single speeds. First time since I started riding that I’ve been fully content with my bike stable.

Wow! That is a stupendous, amazing-looking bike! Congratulations, you’re a lucky pair!
What’s the transmission, some sort of hub gear obviousy? Interesting also that the rear wheel has only 32 spokes, pretty unusual (unheard of?) on a tandem. Must be a pretty special wheel build.

Here is my beauty. Love it.

It has a Rohloff Speedhub. 14 speeds. running a 45t chainring and 18t Cog at the hub. usiing a Gebla Rohbox and modified SRAM Force shifters for shifting duties.
You are right, most tandems run a 40 or 48 spoke wheel. a Rohloff allows for a symmetric wheel(both sides use the same length spoke) which makes for a much stronger wheel build and allows us to get away with less spokes.

Holy mother of god that stack is massive. 210cm+ tall? I know a few rowers who dwarf their 63cm frames and should get something like this.
Just a standard 56cm frame

Cool photo of your Enigma by the way!

That’s a lovely bike! If I could afford an n+1 (which I cannot!) I’d definitely get a second titanium bike with proper mudguards, disc brakes and clearance for big tyres, Audax-style!
