Are those rear cranks freehubbed?

Haha, I can't take any credit. I just bought it from NateM here on the forum. The kidback cranks are not free - the lower stoker cranks have two chainrings and two timing chains, so the "kid" cranks turn in time with the captain cranks and (lower) stoker cranks. That said, the kid cranks are 130mm in length, as compared to 175mm for the captain cranks, so she actually does ok spinning along with me. At least for 60-90 minutes.
I have ordered some polishing paste and vintage Cannondale decals, so it's going to look even fancier in a few weeks.
