Ooooh, that is quite spiffy! I keep wondering if a tandem would work for us, there's a nine inch height difference so I'm not sure.

My husband is greatly opposed to a tandem but I would love to see what on earth could fit us. He is just a hair over 6'2", I barely make it to 5'2". I imagine a tandem for that combination would like like one set up for an adult and kid. My road bike is 47 cm, his is a 58 cm, when side by side it looks like his had a baby bike.

I should post a picture of the tandem that's in our bike room. The husband is at least 6'5", the wife is about 5'. They've got two custom tandems and ride together to work every day. Originally Posted by Aggie_Ama

I'm trying to figure out the drivetrain on that. It looks like a singlespeed, but it looks like there is a 2nd ring for the stoker.
Though, for all I know, that may be how tandems are set up.

Here it is. (It looks weird because it's hanging from the wall and I tilted the camera to make it horizontal.) Originally Posted by divingbiker
