Hello All!
I am looking to get hold of a second hand tandem for my wife and 8 year old daughter to use for trips to school etc. My daughter does not ride a bike and having outgrown her bike and trail-gator combo we are looking at using a tandem. Having tried out a tandem at Centreparcs these work really well for our needs.
The crunch is most new tandems for road use appear to be in the range of £500+. I have studied the ads on this website and at the tandem club, ebay etc. and will continue to to but I thought I would post this to see if any responses are forthcoming. We are looking to spend up to £350 (less ideally) on a reliable machine that can take a 5'8" adult and 8/9 year old child.
Also any suggestions for weblinks to other sites or shops that might be able to help would also be welcome.
