I purchased a used CoMotion Speedster a year ago to see if my wife and I would enjoy tandem riding. The bike fit was acceptable but not ideal fit for us. We decided that we really enjoyed tandeming and purchased a new bike that fit and has S&S couplers.

So now the question is should I hang on to the old tandem to use when the #1 Bike is in for repairs, foul weather riding, etc? I also thought it would be good to have a second tandem around because some friends have expressed interest in tandeming and I would be able to loan them this bike. It will be a little bit of a hassle to store 2 tandems.

I paid $2300.00 for the bike, other than replacing tires and a seat I have not had to put any money into it.

I am interested in other peoples experience in similar situation, were you happy you had the second bike or would you have been better off selling the bike while its value was still close to what you pair for it originally?

For perspective I have 3 road bikes and 3 mtn bikes that do get used.
