My wife and I recently got a test ride on a new Santana and enjoyed it very much. But even the base model Santana is about double what we feel comfortable paying to step into a totally new area of cycling. I've been searching the web for used tandems, but either they're out of our price range (which is @ $1500 or so) or they're all out in California - a long way from our home or up in the Adirondacks of New York - near Lake Placid. We'd be willing to travel - say a half days drive -to get the right bike. I'm 6'2" with a 31" inseam and the stoker is 5'6" with @ 30" inseam. We'd like to find a nice "starter" tandem but so far no luck. So, any suggestions - or leads?
