Pics of New Build
Took these pics before and then after the HHH last Saturday here in TX. Stokid is my 8 y.o. kiddo. Tandem's name is 'Jaws.' Yes, it has already drawn blood from me during the buildup (kinda like Christine did). Anyway, here's a few pics.

Great looking build. I love to see other Campy equiped tandems as there aren't many around it seems. Welcome to the Campy "twofer" club.
Ride safe and enjoy!

Whoa. The lad looks almost fully-extended with the pedals at the 8 O'clock position. He must really be stretching at the bottom.

It does appear that he is fully extended at the 8 o'clock postition but I assure you he has a slight bend at the knee whilst at the 6 o'clock position
. I have his seat lowered as low as it will go and the crank shorteners are barely short enough, but they do work. Here's the specs on the bike and a few more pics:
Frame: chucksbikes.com Tandem Road aluminum-58/52 cm
Fork: Nashbar Carbon Cross
Headset: FSA
Wheels: Dyad Tandem Wheels (Velocity Dyad hoops w/Velocity hub fore and Dt Hugi aft-40 hole)
Tires: Conti Grand Prix 4 Season 700 x 28c
Cranks: DaVinci w/FSA rings w/ Phil Wood shorteners in back
BBs: Phil Wood
Eccentric: Phil Wood
Shifters: Campy Chorus
Derailleurs: Campy Comp Triple fore and Campy Chorus aft
Chains: Wippermann
Brakes: Avid Single Digit 7
Seatposts: Thomson w/ shim for captain's post (to accommodate stoker stem)
Skewers: Salsa Tandem
Cassette: American Classic
Saddles: Brooks B17 captain and Salsa Zona Tres stokid
Seatpost collars: Salsa
Stems: 3T captain and generic stoker stem for stokid
Bars: Salsa Bell Lap captain and Salsa Short 'n Shallow stokid w/ Cane Creek dummy levers
Cages: American Classic
Pedals: Crank Bros captain front and WTB Mountain w/ clips and straps rear
P.S. --Yes he does need a larger helmet for his pumpkin head!
