For Sale: Classic Dale Saso Tandem Bicycle 53cm/51cm (CTT)

This is a circa 1988 Dale Saso custom-built tandem with mostly Campagnolo parts. The fillet-brazed frame itself is in excellent condition with little signs of wear and no rust or dents. The workmanship is superb as illustrated in the pictures of the fillet brazing on the head tube and seat post cluster (photos 4, 5 and 6). The color is a silver-blue fading to silver, front to rear with a color-matching Silca pump. The components are mostly Campagnolo. The frame was custom-ordered in the late 1980’s and built by Dale Saso, a custom bike builder located in San Jose, CA. The bike is currently located in San Francisco, CA. Would prefer a local sale in the SF Bay Area. I am listing this for a friend who is an architect as can be seen by his artful freehand notes
