Very Vintage Tandem
Thought this was cool and some people here might appreciate this:

any by the way, have any of you bigger guys here had any success fitting on a tandem? I'm 6'3" 200 lbs with a 34" inseam (normally ride a 62-63cm road). I've been wanting to get a tandem to fit me and my fiance who is 6' with long legs also, but all tandem frames i see appear to be for little folk...

There are tandems out there that will fit your team, but they won't be the entry level stuff. Best bet is to find something used. FWIW I am just a tad shorter than you, but otherwise the my fit requirements are the same. Our issue is that the other half is 5'-1.000001"
tall, makes for a bit of a stretch getting a tandem to fit her stepover height. We got a deal on a gently used (probably ridden once) Raleigh Companion. It serves our purpose. I am a utility rider (reformed roadie from 30 years ago) and my wife is a novice rider.Aaron

I was looking at that...I was thinking it may have been built up from two singles frames...?
