This ad has been running for 3 years now? I had contacted the seller 2 years ago by email with catalog page scan, correct year, correct original price, pics of the same model for sale locally for $150, etc
I do love the consistency of "scammers beware ads" being posted by scammers

Nice. I'm counting 10 seats, but really it could be stretching to infinity, who knows!
What percentage of riders on that thing do you think need to know how to ride a bike in order for the whole gang not to fall over?

you could quickly make your $$ back renting this out for wedding photos.
Seeing this, I realized I paid too much for my Colango tandem that only seats 2.

Me thinks they might be hiding something. Or else they really like the color blue and don't have any masking tape.

I'll have to scour YouTube...
to find this bike and those like it in the 1972 Tour de France. Was it Felice Gimondi, or Raymond Poulidor who rode Schwinns?

Hilarious! I own that exact same Trek 1000 (but with forward fork and stem, maybe I should try it this way)
