We have a Terry Osell (also in MN) custom-for-someone-else tandem that was built in 1984; nice machine but it just doesn't fit me. I think Terry still does some frame building but don't have contact information for him. So we bought a Burley that almost fits me but not quite. Mike Pofahl in Faribault MN builds nice tandems and has done quite a few. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
