Very nice. Is that a stronglight 106 triple? You don't see one of those every day.

I keep an eye on tandems locally since I'm thinking of buying one. They're tough to sell. A new one costs more than 2 equivalent priced singles but a used one tends to go for quite a bit less than 2 equivalent value singles. There just isn't a big market for these things. You need to find a couple that can fit the bike and locally that's tough to do. Plus while I'm a big fan of all things vintage, I reckon with tandems maybe disc brakes are the way to go.


I'd sell that leather saddle separately from the bike.

This bike is in the basement of my LBS.

Are you asking for a value?

I see high end older tandems on my local CL all the time and the asking prices don't seem crazy. Currently there is an older santana, a paramount tandem, a claud butler, and a fisher gemini tandem: the prices range from $700 to $1200.

They're just hard to sell and they tend to sit and sit.

Yes, I figured that was a given.


I was granted special access to the secret dungeon at the LBS and thought this was beautiful.
It was left on consignment when its owners of state.


Also a nice Schwinn Prelude down there and several Tempos.

My wife is 6 ft. and finding a tandem has been tough. This one might work.

Basically everything Bikemig said is accurate...value is weird for tandems. If I were selling, I think I'd hope for 1000...while also knowing it could take a while. If buying...it really depends on its value to you. I think it looks like a quality tandem, and Santana has a great rep. Nice parts. I'd go 1500ish if I really wanted it?

How long has it been for consignment? If the Owner isn't with us any longer the Estate may take an offer of $800 or at least give you an idea of what they want if they turn you down.

It's been there more than a year.
Owners relocated out of state and didn't take the bike.
