We had an older Santana Visa that we bought used 11 Months ago. We had a Santana Targa several years ago and really enjoyed riding it but a family tragedy (death of teenage son) put us in such a state of grief that we quit riding for several years and eventually sold it. However by the grace of God we have been healed of our grief and reunited emotionally. So we decided to try riding a tandem again and it was love at first pedal stroke. We are hooked and the Santana did a good job sinking the hook. It is not fair to compare the Santana to the new Calfee, one being an entry level model and the other being a top of the line model.the Targa was very stiff and response but not nearly as comfortable as the C/F Calfee.
