To bring this a bit more on topic, I wonder if a 700c, sidepull-braked tandem would work well as a 650b conversion? Our CoMotion has 26" wheels and cantis--it rolls great on pavement or dirt with Pasela 1.75"s....

Don't forget Co-Motion along w/ Burley and Santana. Hard to find models that take fat 700c tires as we tend to like, so you might want to look at 26" if you're planning on riding trails with it (which is AWESOME BTW!).

Wondering if > any had any suggestions on tandem bikes we could take a look at? Manny, Look on craigslist. In your area there are likely lots of good, used tandems. Brands to look for: - burley - santana you'll see lots of those. Used tandems are significantly cheaper than new. Figure 75% off of new retail price. And yes - tandems let riders of disparate speed and cadences stay together and enjoy places together. They are great bikes and I think under-appreciated. We have a burley paso-doble and have been riding tandem for about 4yrs now. We love it. Sadly, riv does not, yet, make a tandem. You're very close to where rbwhq is, though, go harass Grant to make one, please. good luck, finding one - if there are any questions I can help with, feel free to email me. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
