Need Santana Help

We're looking at a Santana tandem on eBay - resonably priced - the frame size is indicated as 20 / 18. I realize that "20" is a mediumish sized frame - as for the 18" stoker side of business, would it fit a 5' rider? I looked at the Santana site and couldn't find any frame dimensions - I'm hoping someone here can help. Thanks in advance.

Now days Santana calls that their small frame, and sure a 5' tall stoker is going to fit fine.

Heck, my wife is about 5' tall and we ride a medium Santana.

Gear to Go tandems has most of the Santana geometry information as measured of bikes that have passed through their shop. And a few others.

We have an 86 21x19, and my 4'11" daughter can fit on the back.

You can call Santana. They're quite friendly on the phone and will answer any of your questions.
