We had a custom fully lugged road & randonneuring tandem built last year by 
Tom Kellogg/Spectrum. 

My wife Mary wrote a post about it:

Here's a photo of the frameset by Tom; scroll forward to see more details.

The price for the frameset and fork was about twice what Grant charges for 
a full custom Rivendell. It could go higher depending on the paint scheme.

I forwarded photos to Grant and he replied that it took many hours of labor 
to craft the lugs. For the same reason, Tom builds just one tandem a year. 

The $1,600 price for the tandem frameset Grant is selling now is a real 
bargain for what you are getting. It's not my kind of tandem but the value 
is quite good.
