I've got two tandems, a 1979+/- Motobecane and a late 1980s Burley Duet. I also have a spare Motobecane frameset with quite a few OEM parts. I even have a set of OEM drum brake rear wheels. Might even be able to drop something off if you are patient (we drive to Illinois a couple of times a year).


I don't have the sizes off the top of my head, too many bikes right now.

If you don't mind a bit of a drive, you should check out CraigList Indianapolis. They tend to have better selection and pricing than the Chicago market. I drive through there occasionally, I might try to pick up a tendem on one of those trips.

Several on the St. Louis CL also.

I have a Miyata Duplicross if you are looking for a 26" ride. PM if interested.
