I noticed someone selling one of these locally on Craigslist:
http://cgi.ebay.com/MONGOOSE-26-Wanderer-AL-Tandem-R5006-Bike-Bycicle_W0QQitemZ350077058175QQcmdZViewItem
Of course the CL seller wanted $250 for it :rolleyes:
Looks like one of the better iterations on the cheap tandem theme. They're not using an idler pulley, seem to be employing a real eccentric. Wheels are probably not tandem-rated, but still...
What do you think?
I think tandems are great, and I would recommend my casual hybrid-riding-on-the-bike-path friends to try something like this Wanderer. How about you?
(Not for me, I'll stick with my $650 1998 Cannondale in great condition)
