shame can't stretch, to small.

Why are all tandems super-small? I want one but I'm 6 '3" and me julie is 5' 10". Will be in the hunt in Oz, big time.

Small Bianchi Super Pista in the US, reasonably priced too...

I know loads of people rate them...

Tempted by this, should I?

^ hma on here was selling it, contact him direct.

I used to have a similar wheelset, the DT hubs are great but the decals are deep under the lacquer...

My current plan is to put some spotter bars (bontrager ssr vrc) on the front and some 3ttt drop bars I have lying around for the stoker. I also am not a fan of brooks saddles, although my missus might end up liking the sprung one it has already. Hopefully she won't as it will look retarded with a selle slr for the captain and a clunky brooks on the back.

Also will swap out the drive train for some stronglight impact tandem front and back. Only because it has funny lengths at the moment which are no good for us.

Other than that I can't really see what else needs attention, other than some big ass panniers. You have any suggestions?

Maybe I should make a current project thread...

You'd be surprised, I saw some massive ones too, most of them ended up being too big for us. Im 5' 10" and shes 5' 3". I'm hoping the bob will fit us, otherwise I foresee some arguments ensuing, as I was the one who said it would fit us.

Also, I did read on a few places that a lot of tandem teams get slightly smaller sizes so you get more standover height.

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller:

I bid but didn't get them - I offered £125. they were nice but they would have just gone into the bits I might need one day box so thought I should limit the spend.

not an ebay find, still not cheap but do you remember those ridiculously expensive kona grand wagon otp, well chain reaction have a 52cm for £900
