Not knowing a heck of a lot more about the marketeer involved and without dropping Dave a line at Paketa, I'd take it all with a grain of salt.

Nice frames, but like the Calfees -- and perhaps even moreso -- they have a distinct narrow slice of what is already a very narrow market in the very narrow niche tandem market. Now, to be fair, there has been a lot of growth in the high-end performance tandem market as the tail end of the boomers who race bikes have gotten to a point where tandems are now attractive enough to be cool.
