Hi!

I am looking for a tandem mountain-bike. Would buying a 13 year old Rodriguez ever be a good idea? If so, what's the most it should cost? We have a limited price-range, but would love to try the tandem experience. Although not mentally or physically challenged, I somehow never learned how to ride a bike! My captain is an experienced mountain biker but hasn't tandemed before. Also, I don't really understand the sizes thing. If my captain is 5'10" and I am 5'4", what should we be looking for? Any ideas for buying a used tandem in Arizona?

Thanks,

Rudy V. will definitely have some good G2 on this. However, in the interim...

If your Captain is an experienced Mountain Biker, make certain you get a suspension seat post. It will just take the sting out of the lumps he will forget to tell you about, that you will soon be telling him about.
