Zombie thread, but I ride mine all the time, especially now that my 6 year old can fit on it as a stoker. It's heavy, and has obviously cheap parts, but the only issue has been getting the cheap seat clamp tight enough that first week we had it. Since then, no issues. It has been through the rain, to festivals, on the back of a van down to Virginia, and nothing to complain about. It is what it is, a low priced tandem, and I'm OK with that.
