We're new to the tandem world but I have been participating in the Mechanic's forum for some time. We bought a mid nineties Santanna Rio last month and got out on our first ride together last night. We did a 15 mile ride around the lake near our house. We were both pleased with the ride and teamwork went relatively well. I kept forgetting to let her know when I was going to coast down to a corner etc but it did go well for the most part and we are looking forward to our next ride.
The bike currently runs a 7 speed rear but I built a nine speed rear wheel this winter for it. I already had the balance of the componentry for the switch in my spares inventory for the Mountainbikes. I usually keep a spare nine speed cassette and chain and I have some shifters left over from another project.
