A few years ago, Grant mentioned a Riv tandem, but he wasn't sure that there would be enough demand because of the cost. We bought a used custom 1996 Santana Noventa (fillet brazed Columbus Nivacrom) built for a couple in Denver, CO. I had a hard time finding a used tandem that would give me high enough handlebars and accommodate the 16cm difference in saddle height. My wife doesn't ride in the drops because of a few fused vertebrae in her neck, so was thinking about trying moustache bars and a Brooks Flyer to make her ride more comfortable. I tried to fit a Thudbuster ST under her saddle, but her legs are too short. I am pretty sure that I can fit a 700x32 tire without having the wheel tweaked. I may upgrade the brakes to Paul Mini-Moto before the big ride. Here is a link to a pic of the Lavender Limo...
