The new home we thought would work for the Santana Tandem won’t, so the bike is still available.  Here’s our original description:

Heidi and I have a 1980’s era Santana Tandem (most like their Sovereign model) that we haven’t ridden in decades.  It’s a large/medium chromoly frame (sky blue), triple chain rings, 5 speed freewheel.  Cantilever brakes, rear drum brake.  27” wheels/tires (wheels good, tires need replacement).  It is in good/great shape but dusty.

We’d like to gift it to someone in the NM cycling community who wants to try out tandem riding before purchasing a modern bike, or who like vintage rides.

We had many great rides on the bike – the most memorable was a  2 night/3 day loaded tour from Fort Collins over Cameron Pass, south over Willow Creek Pass around Granby Lakes then over Trail Ridge Road back to Fort Collins.  300+ miles & 22,000 ft of climbing with old school camping / touring gear.  We were young then….

If you’re interested drop me an email (snell@unm.edu).

Thanks,

Howard Snell
