Date Reviewed: May 6, 1999 | | Favoriate Trail: |
Burton Dassett Hills | | Duration Product Used: |
6 months | | Strengths: |
Cheap, very cheap. Great fun.
Cheap parts. | | Weaknesses: |
forks cracked, rear wheel bust, chainset folded!!, seatpost bent, uncomfortable OE saddles | | Similar Products Used: |
Dawes Double Edge tandem | | Bike Setup: |
as standard but with new (Vetta) saddles, LX V brake, riswer bars, aheadset and trek forks (after cracking the other ones), Bonty Clyde rear rim on Acera X bolt-on rear hub, have fitted Judy SLs (!) and Hope disc for one ride we did! | | Bottom Line: | The most fun you can have for the price?? In the Uk it retails for ~£399 and for that cash you can't get so many smiles per mile as you do on this beast! And the looks you get from people as you rag a tandem down your local trails are amazing! Go get one but be prepared for it to need a lot of repair ork if it gets hammered as much as this one does (ever seen a tandem go down steps and do bunny hops???)! Oh yeah, forgot to mention that the steering is dodgy to say the least - the dawes is a far better (more expensive) option but you may feel guilty dishing out so much abuse to a quality bit of kit! | Overall Rating: |
