Does anyone have any experience with Holland tandems?
I can't seem to find a website for them, nor very much information.
Thanks! :) |
There is one for sale on Ebay...
I think he was a custom builder out of Philly. |
Bill Holland is a high-end custom builder in Southern California. He custom builds the old-fashion way: one at a time by hand. Joe Bell has been his painter since the 80's. He's currently considered one of the best Ti builders that you'll find; again, all done by hand.
However, like a lot of custom builders who will build you a tandem, it's not his speciality so the tubing is probably not highly refined / custom drawn for the application. Regardless, it looks like a great frame. I may even bid on that one... Perhaps someone with first hand experience will chime in...

Hey TandemGeek! You have at least four tandems, that I recall...don't be greedy! Trying to score my first, ya know (at a reasonable price). :)
We're making the trek to Greenville, SC this weekend to test ride a few. Both your pal Tim, and the Birmingham couple are out of town for a NW rally. Can you tell I have the fever yet? :eek: |

We had planned to be there too but then our youngest and his GF went and planned a wedding for July 16 and then bought a home that they closed on yesterday. I hate it when life gets in the way of my hobbies!! |
Maybe it's somebody else that begins with an 'H' out of Philly...

I didn't realize how much until I went back and pulled your email about needing to be concerned about top tube length. With a 21" inch top tube length on the front of the Holland, I just did a conversion and came up with 53.34cm...and my road bike is 59cm for the TT!!!! Yikes, outbid me *now*, please! :o I think we're pretty much going to have to be focused on the Large/Small Co-Motion Speedster and da Vinci. |
