How Does one get here to this crazy plan

So, tandem is at my house now, lets see what I have
Chain is with-in the end service life before having to swap out
Shifters are a mid level Shimano rapid fire not the original Grip shift but still 7 speed (for now)
Brakes have been upgraded swapped around -Silver Deore up front Black Deore out back
Sora front shifter and a new long cage Alivio in the rear
Wheels look to be Shimano Tandem HF5 (LX level) hubs and Sun rims
Some crazy granny hi rise handle bar up front and the original Ritchey handle bar out back
pedals are currently flip flop friendly - not for long
The reason it was sidelined was the captains seat collar split from not having min insertions of a seat post
this has been repaired and now uses a 26.4mm seat post vs the 26.6 it came with
I do have a portable park work stand but finding using an older Allens rack on my porch works MUCH better for a tandem
