After buying myself a Pivot I'm absolutely convicted that we MUST have a full carbon mountain tandem. Not that we can afford it, but I started looking around with a 1 year time-frame in mind.

I started by looking at Calfee only to meet a brick wall. No mountain tandem offered on their site, no response to my inquiries about the Calfee/Elsworth Witness, ... nada. A broader search turned up nothing. Anyone know something I don't know?

Dan, not sure, just know that my new Carbon Pivot rocks the socks off of anything I've ever ridden... by a mile! It's not any lighter than the Turner I was riding, don't know what it is. I figure it must just be magic :)
Thanks Mike, I'll check that out. Not sure how I missed it!
Alex, as I said, long-range planning but it's the Witness that has my attention.

Calfee has gone a different direction with the FS model; it's no longer an Ellsworth rear suspension.

FYI, as of today 4/9, neither URL, nor following the menu options work. "404 Not Found."

Must be awaiting updates.

That said, the NAHBS link with pics of the full suspension design: Dang, that's a REALLY small head tube, down/top tube junction. I'd be worried about snapping it off!

I'm a teacher who makes $40k/year and I'm considering a $10k bicycle; that's a lot of excitement. I can't understand why it is this hard to find information about this bike. Once again I had to come back to this post to get there because when I went to the Calfee site, it wouldn't come up.

Not looking hard enough? That's a bit presumptuous.

What info, specifically, are you looking for?
