iMTB Hooligan
--SOLD--
We've the second owners and have had this tandem for the last eight years. It was our third tandem, and I just bought a new one, so this needs to subsidize that one. It's a mid-90's model, I think a '95. Trek also had T50 and T100 models, this was their top of the line tandem. Made in the U.S. of True Temper steel. Sachs/Shimano eight speed drivetrain, with Hope tandem specific cassette hubs. These are the bomb, and along with the Sachs shifters pretty sought after. You can upgrade it to 9, 10, or 11 speed cassette and shifters if you want a more modern drivetrain. Frame has plenty of scuffs from banging around garages for 25 years, but the silver paint really conceals them. It looks fine. Bike itself has low miles. Easily under 1,000. We had it set up with upright bars as a cruiser. Mounted 700x40C tires, fits up to 44mm or so. That's kind of rare on a tandem, and why we bought this one specifically! Size is 58/52, so a large/medium. New cables and bar tape. SPD pedals included. Some really cool features like a pump peg, chain hanger, drag brake cable stops. These are little extras that make it a bit nicer than our new tandem. We bought the new one so we could get wider tires, that's all. This is probably better in every other way.
$400 makes it yours. That's cheaper than a XO1 crankset! Give this a try and see if it works for you and your significant other. A better than zero chance it will lead to riding more together!
