Tandem Cycling - Composite/Carbon Tandem Owner's Club: Who Are The Members?

Seems like there are more and more folks moving to carbon / composite tandems and I though it might be a good time to get a baseline for just how many folks have now 'joined the club'. I'm thinking it's close to 10 as I can come up with 9 just off the top of my head....

So, for those who do, post up and include:

1. Year produced and/or acquired if you picked it up second hand
2. Make, e.g., Santana, ariZona, Calfee, Rue Sports, LUST, CAS...
3. Model, if applicable, e.g., Beyond, Davis Double, Dragonfly, Tetra, Ying/Yang...
4. Photo

'07 Calfee Tetra Custom with S&S couplers (delivered Dec '07)

We picked up some kind of plastic and metal take apart tandem this spring. It is ok so far but I am a bit worried about all the missing spokes..... :rolleyes:

Hi,

We have a Calfee Tetra, Dura ace shifters, FSA cranks, avid rear disc, and Rolf wheels.
Purchased new July 2006.
Will have to get a photo and find out how to post it on this forum.

I've got a carbon fiber fork and some other components. Working on the wife for a frame.:lol:

We took possesion of our Calfee Dragonfly in January of 2008.
Its a small/small in black. Rolf wheels, mix of Dura Ace and Chorus parts, FSA Gossamer cranks and an Avid disk in back.
We have been VERY happy with our purchase and build (thanks Mark at Precision Tandems!).

The first photo may look familiar if you have visited Precision Tandem's webiste...

I thought the normal placement of the S&S connectors was behind the stoker's seatpost. Any reason why you had them placed in front? Frame size?
