My wife and I ride Rivendell models -- Romulus, Rambouillet, others -- and after riding a Cannondale MTB tandem with slicks & drop bars for awhile we went to Co-Motion.
We asked Dwan to replicate our positions on a 57 Romulus in the back and a 58 Rambouillet in the front and set up the headtube so that I could get my captain's handlebars level with the saddle. Mission accomplished. The final productt, their 700c wheel Speedster, fit as we wanted. We've since then replaced that bike with a 700c Java expedition tandem which allows much bigger tires and fenders. The only obstacle on both frames has been getting Brooks saddles far enough back, but the NItto Wayback post solved that. I asked Grant at one of his book signings about the Riv tandem project and he said it was still on his list, but he had no prediction about when. Ed F.
