  most definately a long haul spec.
  we would no doubt need two bikes in the longterm... Hase s duo lowrider bike has it all for touring, would consider a test ride some time down the line... thanks a lot for posting, much appreciated.

  thankyou so much for the introduction link... the tandem club is a brilliant site, there were tandems for sale to, i thought the 'Longstaff Tandem Tricycle' description sounded like a solid road presence. the club is well worth it s ten pounds membership, and offers a hire service to, which may be prove to be a short term solution to try out different types, whilst saving up for a custom built model. lovely, cheers :)

  my sister and i want to tandem regularly, we had cycled for years until my being registered visually impaired a few years ago... recently we realised a tandem would work for us, but have searched ebay, gumtree etc for inspirational research into various types, we know that a touring bike is what we need, but found all proportions to be size specific and that we need to be back to front from the usual ratio... they all seem to require a human up to five feet eight at the back and up to six feet one at the front!
  i, the visually impaired one stand at five feet ten in stockinged feet and therefore need to sit at the back, my sister is five feet eight and would be at the front... would really appreciate some advice and perhaps direction to a bicycle coop who build to spec. thanks, kim (and karen)
