Wow. I'm so glad I found your write up. I'm seriously considering a low cost tandem for the fiancee and myself. Im an experienced cyclist and she is a complete beginner. Neither of us have any tandem experience but I am considering one so we can ride together yet ride at our own abilities & level. I was looking for something affordable & low cost (not low end) and I found one of these Fujis online practically brand new (the ad says it's been ridden twice as a shop demo). The price seems to be really good considering perceived build quality and spec (I havent seen the bike yet in person). I searched google for more info on this model and basically have come up with nothing at all other than your excellent review. Thank you very much!!!
