This is looking ace. Triple tandem is sweet as well, got anymore pics? What frame is the oldschool dj looking thing in the back? That shots in a mates garage. The triple tandem is a pretty cheap "micargi", which I think is a us made steel frame. It was taken by my mate to a bike builder in rotorua who makes some epic things (jeffson cycles), who added a disk brake mount to the rear, extra strengthening to the frame, and changed the 1" headset to a 1 1/8" to allow slightly more modern forks. Powder coated in yeti blue, we call it the tridem, or "The abominable snowman". Did 85km on it a couple of weeks ago with him and it definitely needs the gears sorting. The dj looking thing is an n-zone. Model i think is a slacker. The Internet tells me its an early 00's steel framed nz made bike with about 200 produced, 68 degree head angle, sold as frame only, largely by a small mountain bike clothing company in rotorua who are still there today. He uses it as his pump track bike when taking his kid out

First rides done. A quick shakedown Friday and then 44km touring the wineries of the hawkes bay on Saturday. Stopped in on the couple who sold me the bike as the trail literally went past their door. Whilst probably not to their taste per se (they have a 1918 rudge amongst others, as well as a 30's chev pick up and an early austin cambridge) they couldn't believe it was back in use from the very poor state I got it in, and were excited to get a picture. It performed really well and got a few nice comments from others on the trail. Visited 6 wineries a brewery and a cidery so a success all round!
