If one is on a timetable, Co-Motion is turning tandems around relatively quickly. With a number of custom modifications and couplers, ours got to us in about 6 weeks after design approval.
We have friends who are getting a 650b custom tandem for use with Hetres from Co-Motion, also expected in weeks. We have other friends who have waited more than a year on their 650b Bilenky tandem with no progress yet. That's not incredibly long for a custom shop with high demand, but it's something to keep in mind.
