...do you have? I need the usual novice tandem buyer's advice. I'm looking for a 'racing' oriented
I'm off to look at a 1997 Santana Sovereign. Aluminum frame with single internal lateral, 1-1/4" steerer, 9-speed rig with triple, rear rack, drum drag brake (obsoleted by the new 'big' discs), front & rear V-brakes, drop bar front, wide cowhorn rear, shock absorbing stoker post, 160 MM rear triangle spacing, standard 40-spoke wheels, 28 MM Conti rubber,
He's throwing in a pickup truck fork clamp rack and the child's stoker crankset rig that's on it now. Two small scratches in the original Dupont paint. Obviously low miles going by the pictures.
$1000 asking.
Is this a good deal for a starter rig or should I try the $2K KHS Milano to see if I can cause a divorce?
Gadzooks! A carbon or Ti racing tandem with Campy looks like $15K to $20K!
