  • Is it possible to buy a 2nd hand tandem with couplers?

    It must be, since tandems exist with couplers and not all tandems are kept by their original owners for life. It might take a while to find one.

    what would it cost to get a frame build up, roughly.

    Likely to be £3000 minimum and up to well over twice that for something tarty, but you can get couplers fitted to a suitable existing steel frame for £645 for a solo, so two or three times that for a tandem depending on what the frame format is and how many pieces you want to break it into. Given how cheap second hand tandems are, it could be well worth spending £1500 to get couplers added to and old one rather than buying a new one.

  • Yes your suggestion of retrofit was my thought too, as I can't see any more sale I guess they're quite rare to come up. Pletly of normal tandem for sale though.
    And you've confirmed I can't get near affording new

  • it's a serious lesson in trust :) . you'd be more than welcome to borrow ours for an afternoon if you fancy trying one out
