 TANDEM

Due to a restricted budget, we decided to buy the tandem with the best performance/price ration. As the race-road tandems are quite expensive (import from the States rises the prizes around 1.5 times), we choose rather a city-bike tandem that we equiped with racing.
The "Drive Me TdS" was the right choice
We bought our tandem by Wysam-Cycles in Orbe, where you can try one. If you pass there saluate Sam for us!
 
Tandem Drive Me TdS


the standart tandem

- rigid Aluminium frame
- Shimano LX, 3 plates and 9 speeds
 

Modifications:


our tandem

- white color
- take off all useless equipment (lights,...)
- 2 race saddles
- 2 speedometers
- 2 pair of Shimano pedals
- 2 slick tires
- supressed the brake for the rear cyclist
 

Result :
- a rigid tandem
- can pass on any pavement (even some stones)
- relatively light : 18 kg (39.6 lbs)
- a little lost in speed due to the wheels (35mm)
