Because that looks rather fun, to me
(I wonder if they accept old lottery tickets?)

Never seen one, but we would be happy to try! It would be interesting to see a comparative test of this and a standard frame with S&S couplers.

I've done some more digging around and some claim this is a rare a special unicorn and only two were built. But if you look on Ritchey's page it's listed with a price and also at some Ritchey dealers. Odd.
Sadly it's too pricy for me but it would solve my "MTB or Road" tandem dilemma.

Landescape used to make Tandem frames designed to take both 26" and 700C wheels. I have one and rather like it. They might still have some frames knocking around if that's what you're after!

^ indeed they did.
We had one, only ran 700C on it and it was a great frameset, very light!
We now run a frame with S&S that is just superb, especially the ease of flying with it! But, these things are not cheap!

Right! What's next?
Ooooh. That sounds like a daft idea. I am in!
