Definitely Cro motion, or [i]Co[/i] motion?

If its the latter, warlands cycles seem to sell their tandem so might be worth a call?

Edit: Some of their bikes look ace

Co-Motion bikes are beautifuly made, you see lots of them in Oregon which isn't surprising as they are made in Eugene. I met one of their frame builders while touring the Pacific coast. I asked him what the expiort market was like for them, he said that export costs and taxes added too much to make them viable to a European market.

I saw a couple of their belt drive, Rohloff Americanos that looked world tour capable.

I'm sure someone like Roberts or Mercian could build something similar over here.

the guy on FB doing the world tour is using one, and it looks very capable.

Ton, Neil is the original Crazyguyonabike. These two threads are worth a read for info on CoMotion frames.
