Hi all,
My wife and I are considering venturing into the tandem world. As this is new for us, we are thinking about going with a used bike first to minimize cost and to see if we really like it enough to stick with it. I have located in the local area a 2002 Raleigh SC. What are your opinions on this particular bike as a starter? Is it reliable, suitable for beginners to judge tandeming, and a good place to start? And, what is a reasonable price range? They are asking around 400.00. Seems to be in great condition. Thanks in advance. I know this is an awfully general question, but I guess I am looking for whether this is a good starter, or whether there are known issues about this brand/model that should keep me away. Thanks again.
