Tandem for Large Captain & Blind Stoker both 6'1"

Martin Lucas2022-07-02 17:34:16
I'm looking for a tandem to help get my blind stoker out riding again. We're both 6' 1" tall so will need a big/big frame. Wondering if anyone in the TC has such a tandem tucked away and not being used. Located in Poole, Dorset but willing to travel for a suitable machine.

Hi Martin

If you want to try out a Tandem you could approach Charlotte;s Tandems as there are Helpers around your area who could loan you a Tandem of the right size on a trial basis before buying, just a thought.

Hi Martin, I have a large tandem for riders over 6' tall. A Cannondale 25" x 23" in the for sale section. I live in Berkhamsted, Herts and you would be very welcome to use it for as long as you want.

Hi David,

Thank you for the offer. This looks too small for us and definitely will be if it's 20/16" listed on the for sale board.

Hi Jeremy,

The Cannondale looks as though it would be ideal. I'll send you an email.

Hi,

I may have just the bike. I'm a helper with Charlottes Tandems and based in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire. it maybe worth loaning this before you make a purchase. It's designed for 2 tall riders.

I am a volunteer with Charlotte Tandems based in Dorset  and have a large  cannondale that I think may work.

Hi Martin,

Have a 23/23inch Orbit Ladyback circa 1988 looking for a new home but we're 300 miles away in North Yorkshire. Not planning a holiday up here any time soon?

John.

Hi John,

Thank you for the offer. No holidays in North Yorkshire planned unfortunately so I think we shall have to pass. Some great cycling to be had in the area.

Thanks to Charlottes Tandems and Dorset based volunteer Alison we're now equipped with a 25/23" Cannondale which fits us nicely and should be great to ride. Many thanks too for all the kind offers on this board.
