    Strengths:    The frame is very sturdy, along with the componets. I don't really like gripshift, but with this bike it's okay. The 2.4 tires are a must.

    Weaknesses:    I wish FANDAGO made a full suspension frame. As with all tandems, the stoker gets hammered.

    Bottom Line:   
    I have never owned a tandem. I think for the price you can't go wrong with this product. If you have a child, contact Alex to see if a FANDAGO will work. Alex is an expert at talking you through the purchase. I raced the NORBA California State Series and won the title with a seven year old stoker. If you have a child, get a tandem and get them on the trail. My son loves it! I've mountain biked for 13 years and the last six months have been the best because of my FANDAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Strengths:    Great fit for captain and stoker. High bottom bracket for clearance. Responsive and light for a tandem! Best price around for a nicely equipped bike.

    Weaknesses:    None that we could find!

    Bottom Line:   
    Great tandem for racers or recreational riders! It is price friendly, looks great, fun to ride, and is the best geometry we found. What a great way to spend time with family and friends!
