"Except for the shorter wheelbase, the Gus/Susie is the bike you describe."
And a brilliant ride. My experience with Gus is the long wheelbase is rarely to never a detriment, and always an asset. Smooth, better climbing, better flow. Experience teaches the taking of slightly different curves in the technical areas, but generally speaking point the front one where you want to go and the rear follows smoothly, even if it goes over a bit more. Need proof? Search YouTube for "downhill tandem MTB" and realize: oh. None issue. Grin.
