TEST RIDE
Let me know if you want to test ride and I'll put some pedal on it for you. Or I'll install yours for the test ride. Bring your offspring, wife, husband, GF, BF, SO, CLS, or LTM/FC for the stokker ride.
PICK UP & DELIVERY OPTIONS
I'm located north of Kansas City in a quaint village called St. Joseph, Missouri.
I'd prefer you pick it up. It fits on a standard bike rack with a minor adjustment. You will have to take the front and rear tires off to narrow it up a bit if you are putting it behind a car on a standard bike rack. I also wrap the lose chain with a dish towell and then wrap that with a bunge. It keeps the chain from rubbing the seat stay.
I could deliver it to the KC area if someone were really without a way to arrainge pick up. But you'd have to make a pre-delivery deposit that covered my gas there and pack and another $50 unrefundable. That $50 would come off of the total due at delivery. But the gas money is mine. $0.35 a mile there and back.
I would deliver it to a North KC bicycle shop if you make pre-paid arraingments with them for the packing and shipping. I'd drive it there at no charge.
WHY THIS BIKE IS FOR SALE
My wife suggested that I buy this bike when I was trying to get her into cycling. We have ridden it a total of about 50 miles together. I would classify those 50 miles as the most stressful of my cycling experience. I love my wife. I swear as God is my witness I really love her. But, I sell it so that we may both live to a ripe old age - with her alive and me out of prison. The tandem helped me decide that the price of her joining me in this activity was way too high. ;)
You will know whether your relationship will be enhanced by a tandem. Frankly, I knew it wasn't a good idea when I plunked down the money. If you get that feeling - Run - Don't walk from this concept of riding/buying a tandem. On the other hand, you and yours may be ready. If so this is a good deal.
PRICE
$600 Cash firm.

Please don't PM me here. I never seem to catch those.
I would be glad to answer any questions you have. I can also provide photos upon request.
REVIEWS
There are a few reviews out there on Google. Do yourself a favor and check craigslist and eBay (http://www.ebay.com/) and the net for NEW and used prices. Learn about this model and make a well-informed choice. I believe you will find this bike to be a good deal at $600. We paid $900 with tax and a few minor upgrades. Thus, when I think about it we will have paid about $6.00 a mile for the privledge of being the first owners of this bike.
