C & V Tandem?
My love life has undergone some drastic changes of late, and I'm now-re-involved with a wonderful woman that I've been heart-brokenly pining for, for at least 15 years. She is so wonderful that she's willing to get into bicycling with me, and loves that I tinker with bikes and that I want to build a bike for her, when I find the right one.
Anyhow, I suggested that we might want to get a tandem, and she loves the idea. We're planning on outfitting it with rear rack, panniers and front basket, so we can use it for picnics, shopping and maybe pull a trailer for camping trips. Neither one of us is tiny, combined weight of around 370-380 lbs., so it'll have to handle weight. We're not worried about speed or anything, just comfort and durability. I know next to nothing about tandems, and was hoping I could get a few suggestions on older tandems to look for.
