you pay a custom builder to get the bike that you want, not the bike that the builder thinks that you should have. we plan to get a Performer Duet road tandem which has 700c wheels and an ETT of 530mm, iirc, roughly the same length as my wifes road single. she should be able to captain our tandem, if she felt the need, she is 5'3" and the fit will be fine for her.
I do have a 700c single with a 52.2cm eff top tube. I don't have any problems with toe overlap on the bike. It's close, but no problems.
While we do appreciate feedback and suggestions on what would be most valuable in a tandem from the builder, I do think it's important that they build what we've asked for. It's too much money to not get what we expect out of the bike!
