Habanero Tandem Frame
Anybody here ever seen or ridden one??? They have nice looking design, good tubeset selection, and I do know a few guys riding their Mt. bikes happily.
Any experience would be appreciated.

There's a very strong couple on Tandem@Hobbes who have one that they campaign in NorCal. This was a recent post by Craig: https://search.bikelist.org/getmsg.as...10610.0089.eml. You might want to float him a note.
To the best of my knowledge, the frame is the same ones (edit: or very similar to the ones) offered by Spicer and AeroLite and produced by Xi'an Chanda (XCD) of Xi'an Shaanxi. https://www.xacd.com.cn/product.asp?r...rootcl=1&cls=1 (link may or may not be working)

That does appear to be the Spicer frameset, which I did someprior research on, but the tubeset for the Habanero is more sophisticated: the Spicer has round tubes, where the Hab is a mixture of teardrop, oval and round. Also, the Hab has road brake mounts.
Thanks for the contact. I'll see if I can get a reply.
