I have seen only one of these in person. I don't know that the owners frequent this forum. They have had the bike only about 2 - 3 months. They came from a steel tandem (wrecked in an accident). They seemed to really like the Paketa.

Most forum members who go high-end go carbon fiber. For those who have, did they consider the magnesium Paketa? If not, why not? If so, why did they choose CF over mg?

Anyone on this forum try or own a Paketa?

PAKETA is Russian for rocket(P=R), so I think it should be pronounced " Raketa." Is it really a rocket?:-)
