Santana Tandem or similar

Neil Wheadon2025-09-03 23:54:16

After 35 years of cycling our Mercian at many rallies, to Australia and with James and Louise as stokers, Sarah and Neil are looking for another tandem with a longer stoker top tube. During the International this year in the Netherlands we tried out a variety of tandems and we are looking for a Santana or Co Motion Tandem with couplings.

We are not looking for an electric tandem so if you are considering changing your tandem to maybe an electric or wish to sell a tandem we would be very interested. Out heights ate 5 foot 8 and 5 foot 6.

Our fall back is JD tandems to order a bespoke build but if by any chance a great replacement is out there, we'd love to purchase it

Obviously we are prepared to pay an appropriate figure for the right bike

Good morning Neil,

I do have a titanium team 700 Santana with S and S couplings surplus to requirements, as three Santanas is probably one too many. It is the older sort with double coupled tubes rather than a single oval drainpipe.i have just got back home from the ITR2025, so no photos yet.

Hi Neil  I have a a Santana Beyond for sale , a lovely fast Tandem Carbon and Titanium frame, I put invisiframe over most of the tubes so no marks! If the S&S couplings are essential then this is not for you as it does not have them, If you are interested I can send you photos, it was flat bar when I bought it now converted to deops, I did add a Cyntronex but can convert back and remove the power, Was advised to put on steel forks because of the torque but can revert to the carbon forks. Let me know of interest

Apologies for the repeated replies.  It came up with a not sendable message, hence trying again and again.

Hi Neil

Herewith some photos, the frame is small I am 5ft 10ins and my wife 5ft 7 and it fits us both very well. It was sold to a couple in Lincoln by JD Cycles, I checked the history when I bought it and all was in order. We are the second owners.The frame is immaculate I covered it in Invisiframe to protect the paintwork although its carbon and titanium. I have a Cytronex battery system on it at present which can be removed and the carbon forks replaced also the sweet sixteen wheel can be refitted.

If you give me an email I can sent you the full details same clogging up the Tandem forum.
