Anyone who has seen
http://sheldonbrown.org/bicycles knows that I'm far from a purist in that sense, and, indeed, among my fleet of 30 plus there isn't one that is set up for it's "intended purpose."
I was mainly replying to the thread, not to your particular posting.
That said, I thing your bike would be cooler with straight bars and a stem that put the grips in a comfortable position. It would also be more fun to ride if you put a front brake on it.

What's not to like about tandems? ;-)
