Just ordered a new Burley Rivazza with the carbon fork option. $3200 +$300 for the fork option. 4-5 weeks until delivery. Can't wait.
Now the wife wants to go buy cycling gear. Woo hoo! Yes there is a god. My wife is actually, can you believe it excited about bike shops now.
Thanks for all you fine peoples posts. I have found a wealth of knowledge that has helped me choose the bike and the whole tandme experience.

Congratulations! I predict you will be enjoying that bike for a long time to come. What color did you order?
You'll be happy with the Burley. My wife and I bought a Paso Doble last fall and Burley definitely allowed us to buy more componentry for our money. Enjoy your new ride.
Congratulations on your fine choice. Does the $3,200 price include the race options (Rolf wheels and carbon crank)?
Just talked to Burley not more than 15 minutes ago to get an update on my Tosa order. I ordered the tandem on April 4th and was told the estimated ship date is May 13th. We're also very excited to get our bike since I sold our old tandem sooner than expected.

#1 tandem drawback: you now have to buy 2 of everything. Those $200 shoes didn't seem that bad...Now they're $400. New Pneumo helmets on sale for $100? Better make that $200. Don't forget pedals, and of course matching jerseys.
Enjoy!

What color did you order?
Sunburst orange. (Kind of an orange and yellow mix)
Does the $3,200 price include the race options (Rolf wheels and carbon crank)?
No. Only base bike without the upgraded wheels, cranks or fork.

Gotta a link?
Good Luck on the delivery time. Some friends ordered a Rivazza back in late February and Burley is telling them mid to late May for shipment (they were originally told 4-5 weeks also). Burley said they are totally swamped with orders. I guess lots of people have noticed the "bang for the buck."
If Burley is realizing a profit on these sales, hopefully this will pull them out of their financial dire straights!
Congratulations, perhaps you can get someone to sing you the old Carly Simon song--"Anticipation". :D

When we ordered our Burley back in late January they told us 2 weeks. It ended up being closer to 3. Guess ordering before the weather starts to get nice has its advantages ...
When I spoke to someone at Burley yesterday, I was told there will be aluminum tandems shipping on May 13th but none has shipped in a while. Hopefully, your friend's Rivazza and my Tosa are in that shipment.

Somebody beat me to it and sent you the Kucharik link you needed.
Yes, they also have kid-sized tandem motif clothes!
Have several of their jersies; great quality, made in the USA since (-get this!-) the early 1930s!!!
