1898 Orient Rear-steering Tandem

1898 Orient Rear-steering Tandem

22″ Frame (rear); 20″ frame (front). 28″ Wooden wheels with tubeless tyres

This tandem was a state-of-the-art machine in its day. 122 years down the line it’s a rare survivor. I bought it in California and it has now returned to the USA, to become part of the collection of a friend on the East Coast.
