My wife and I rode both a Raleigh and Burley tandem and ended up buying the Burley (Zydeco model).
We both prefered the handling and ride of the Burley, and have done a lot of business with the LBS
where we bought it. It was a leftover 2000 model and we got quite a discount on it, too. Try to get
rides on different brands and then make your decision. Smokey
