Our Tandem

• 1993 Santana 'Vision' Tandem (owned since 1995)
  • Tahitian Blue color (a near-teal experience)
  • Set up with flat bars with bar ends for the captain (Richard)
    and cruiser bars with bar ends for the stoker (Suzanne)
  • 21 speeds, indexed shifters mounted in front bar ends
  • Super-strong wheels - 48 spoke wheels, Edco Competition hubs, Sun Rhyno rims
  • Front and rear pedals are bungeed together to ensure the pedals are always level and upright for easy entry
  • PowerGrips on Suzanne's pedals, Wellgo clip-in pedals up front
  • "V"-type rim brakes and stoker-controlled drum brake ('veto power' by the stoker on fast descents)
  • NiteRider 6V 15W headlight
  • Full-coverage fenders front and rear
  • Big fabric basket in the front (better than a handlebar bag)
  • Front and rear racks with front lowriders and fenders

  • Added bonus: Blackburn raccoon seat bag
  • Noisemakers:
    • Whirli-Bell for the captain
