Anyone know where I can find a tandem road frame for under $1000? Or anywhere close to that figure? We don’t need custom, but big. 61+ captain/~58 stoker

I want one, but with a 53ish stoker so it can fit almost any girl.

I want a tandem cruiser but they are always overpriced or about to explode they are so rusty and poorly kept.

I wanted a geared beast to do alleycats on. My chick has some crazy spin, and I bet after practice we’d be pretty fast.

That is a genius idea, I would start doing alleycats just to follow you two around.

If I had any talent with metal I would try the Sheldon home brew tandem build. Tandem frames that aren’t junk seem to command money.

yeah that is quite true.

I would check the “local bike coop” they may have a frame that just needs some work.

I very much want a tandem track bike

$350 for a tsunami branded frame if it’s legit.  
clearly no relation to [http://www.tsunamibikes.com/](http://www.tsunamibikes.com/) though

I wish I lived in the 'states. I reckon I’d either snag that or go for the triple tandem for $695.

This tandem costs 700 USD comlete:

Run of the mill Al frame, semi-shitty components, good enough to be reliable.  
Something like this must exist over there…

mike terraferma has a custom built tandem for sale…  
i think it’s a 58.5 / 53  
it’s hotness… and i think it’s a grand.  
he was building it for a couple that got divorced while he was making it… so he’s letting it go for a whole lot less than he should IMHO
