So, let me amend the above thoughts on the Micargi Tandem to say: If you are not a reasonable-to-good bike mechanic, this is not the bike for you. But, if you can handle some basic wrenching tasks, and don't mind shop time, these Micargi Triplets are spectacular project bikes that can allow your family to have fun on a Triplet at a price THOUSANDS of dollars below anything else I've seen. Since you can get these triplets new on-line for under $500 shipped, you are money ahead even if you throw away everything except the frame and rebuild it with new components. I dare anyone to find any other way to get a Triplet frame for a similar price, or anyone to find a way to get into Tandem riding for less money.
