A nice used, medium sized, Ti Tandem popped up on the tan...@hobbes list this morning. In addition to the good advice about handling, I would add that you will want more stand over for the pilot than you probably have on your single, especially if you bought it from Grant. On a tandem the pilot must straddle the bike with his/her legs spread beyond the pedals and hold the brakes, while the stoker climbs aboard and repositions the pedals for the pilot to put one foot on and push off. Also, plan on clips or clipless pedals, since loosing contact with tandem pedals can be a painful experience!
