Let's hear it for the blue Hubbuhubbuhs

[David Sprunger]

Hi. The orange, silver, and sage tandems seem to be well documented, but the blue ones are sadly neglected. Here are a few pictures of mine. There is nothing too radical about the build, but the Super Moto X tires push the capacity of the Motolite brakes.

I would like to add a rear rack eventually, but for now, the old Hobo bag is working fine.

Fun times.

That is a nice photo gallery of a beautiful bike.  Now I want one too.  Need to convince the wife!  Thank you for sharing.

One question:  Is that an 8-speed cassette?

Thanks. Yes, I am using a 3x8 drivetrain with some IRD silver shifters that I got from a list member.

Cool. As an alum of the U of I, I endorse that fighting Illini blue-and-orange color scheme. Fargo is relentlessly flat, so our tandem does not have a disc brake installed. I had an early 80s tandem with a Phil Wood drum brake, but never needed to use it.

Drag brakes make really good parking brakes as well.
I would probably use one even if I lived where it's flat.

I thought I had a bunch of red housing but I couldn't find it.
I sprung for the orange and a friend of mine had some orange powder so he coated the cages to match.
It's a good contrast with that blue.

Cheers,
Ray

David, how I wish I could have seen it in person on my way through Fargo last week! I had my Betty and husband's Clem in tow as well. The blue is definitely my favorite Hubbah; I hope you ride many happy miles! And also, GO BISON!

Ray, I need to keep an eye out for this around town. The orange cables and cages are awesome!

The Orange cable housing and water bottle cages really look striking against the Blue

Thanks Joe and John,
I'm pretty happy with how good of a match the orange is.
Maybe a couple other small bits will get powder coated.

Holler if you see me Joe, you can take it for a cruise.
