Santana - $300 - Orange,CA
https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/...615137279.html
Vintage Santana Elan tandem. Could use some new tires but otherwise ready to roll. 7 speed with triple up front. Crank arms are 170mm.
Good for captain 5’8”-6’ and stoker 5’2”-5’7”. Bar end shifters, all the rage at the time. Plus or minus pedals.

imho, that’s a very good deal for a team looking to get a tandem capable of doing real road riding at a bargain basement price.

Listed at $500, but hilariously says "If you're still reading and don't want to haggle $200 is the lowest"

Not a quality bike, no comparison to the (cheaper and way better) Santana's above, but look at that lovely retro paint and decal set! Just need a carpeted van to fill out the package

Apparently you really need to open the tandem ads and see what is inside?
The red Santana above was listed at $500 in title, but $200 in the ad
This Schwinn was listed at $100 in the title, Free in the ad!

Aandewiel tandem - $600 - Santa Clarita, CA
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/ws...647469176.html

from ad:
"Vintage tandem Aandewiel Racing Tandem. In really great condition for Over 100 years old . Original paint still . Originally was a track bike that set world records in holland over 100 years ago . 1974 bike was Retrofitted to have triple chainring and cassette gearing . Upright handle bars and thumb shifters and straight bar type brake levers . Now set up to ride anywhere and very enjoyable!!!"

when I read the ad I was not buying it, when I clicked on the first few google links for Aandewiel tandem? might well be? One bad pic doesn't help but?



so they are saying it is this?

Tandem Aandewiel / Wiersma
Dutch racing cyclists Piet Aandewiel (1892 – 1979) as steersman and Frits Wiersma (1894 – 1984) as stoker. Collage of the only two newspaper photo’s I have of this couple. No date. - https://willem.aandewiel.nl/index.ph...t-aandewiel/2/

Was going to buy the carbon coupled da vinci as I've been searching for that combo, unfortunately he called and said someone came to look and said the bikes were actually small so we didn't make the 1.5hr drive up to see it.

Early Santana in Rochester NY

https://buffalo.craigslist.org/bid/d...644459536.html
This bike was donated to our all-volunteer charity R Community Bikes. We sell bikes like this to help with our expenses. google R Community Bikes.

Santana is the premium manufacturer for tandems. This is an early Santana tandem that has been meticulously maintained. The sizes are 25" (63 cm) Captain and 22" (56 cm) Stoker so it is for a tall team. Although from the early 80s this is a great bargain for someone just starting out on a tandem. Experienced tandem riders are available to help you get started.

Yes, someone is dreaming. :-)
Even something from a fine builder can't generate that kind of pricing with it's old components and design.

Just got back from driving 2 hours each way to go look at and ride this bike. Unfortunately ended up being too small for us (was a custom build with a small top tube). Think it's a pretty good deal (obo) for a coupled titanium davinici with travel cases. Guy runs a recumbent bike shop and was willing to ship.
