Hey Stu,
Borrowed NBT/Bunnyhop's tandem for a couple of weeks. First spin out on it yesterday and we are hooked!!
Going to keep an eye out for a second hand one (maybe just a frame) and build it up Rohloff style.
As we talked about at the Pootle, the draggyness is getting on my nerves on the solo, but hoping it will be "absorbed" on a tandem.Good idea?

As you already have the 'Hoff it'd be worth a try.
Only thing to watch out for is a lot of tandems have 145mm rear spacing.Have a chat to the nice folks at JD Cycles about it. We found them very helpfull.
The T.U.R.D.S* are growing in numbers by the looks of things.
Let's see how many teams we can get for the summer bimble in mid wales.

I like the disappearing solo riders in the background
Amanda looks like she's being gently rocked to sleep there, she's that chilled

That was another tandem. Their first propper ride on it though. Dan's usualy a lot quicker than me but just starting to get to grips with tandemeering.

She didn't sound that chilled when we had a front wheel drift towards a tree. I had it all under control though.

Ah, front wheel drift... too much power on the back, eh

I am genuinely interested and fascinated by these tandems...what are the options when selecting frames/ components. ? Is there a resource to browse, get drunk and then buy?

Dancake - there are a few specialist shops -jd tandem shop
Its an expensive game - you need strong wheels and forks and drivetrains get a hard life.
There is also an american shop http://www.mtbtandems.com/
Tehre are other shops as well.

cheers TJ
Would be a genuine thing to do with Mrs Dancake, but also needs to be good enough to have a bit of silliness with riding buddies now and again...

Dancake if your anywhere near the midlands you're welcome to have a go on ours.

secondhand frames are rare but do crop up. Try one before you buy is always my advice - some folk simply don't get on with them.
There a re a few places that allow you to try one out before you buy or ask me or one of the other tandemeers on here
Edit - there you go - nice one singlespeedstu. similarly I am in Edinburgh is thats any good to you

cheers guys for the offers. Its one of those obsessions that grows or fades; I am not sure which way it will go yet
I do know someone who had a tandem. His wife wouldnt get on it so he ditched the idea. Note sure if he still has the frame though; he deffo kept the bits and built them into a 456
