Titanium Litespeed Tandem For Sale - $2,250

Heidi and I wish to sell our Litespeed Taliani Tandem.  We purchased the bike in 2002 w/500 miles on her - she’s a 2000, rode her lovingly through 2007 and she’s been hanging in the garage since.  Rides like a dream and puts a smile on the stoker’s face.

Details:
Frame:
Size 59.5/56cm - captain/stoker seat tubes.  Stoker’s cockpit is generous & comfortable.  I'm 6’ & Heidi is 5’6” and the bike fit us well.  Rear wheel spacing 145.
Tubing: mix of 6al 4v and 3al 2.5v double & single butted.  Brushed titanium finish.
Integrated mounts for 6 bottle cages, front & rear racks, etc.
We had the frame modified by Deans Titanium Bikes ( http://www.deanbikes.com/) in Boulder for a rear disc brake -see below.
Fork is Litespeed chromemoly, steel steering tube.

Components - in 2005 we upgraded most components to what’s listed here:

Shifters & front derailleur – Dura Ace triple road -9 spd.  Rear derailleur XTR.
