Is the answer a circe?

I think you should have tried the Niobium Santana

would've, but they'd sold the demo model!

[clarion]

I hoped they were keeping it for me

*shakes money box; no tinkling sounds*

Ah, well...

Glad you've found the right one for you

[L CC]

and we've ordered a red one

Darn it... you'll be faster than us- everyone knows red bikes are faster!

Well done mike and mrs mike    

Next year I think we need an East Anglian yacf tandem ride.

I look forward to reports and photos on the bob Jackson (in 3 months). It is certainly on the list of options as we think about our perfect tandem.  It is considerably less expensive than Santana/co-motion options, so has a certain appeal right there!

Definitely - but it'll have to squeeze in amongst the audaxes, in the schedule

Well done Mike and Mrs Mike   

We are the same height as you two, although there are a few more measurements that matter for bike fitting; it would be interesting to know what frame size you went for, also the spec (gearing etc)

Was there any lee way on paint jobs?  Or anything as long as it Red, Blue or Black?

We went to the open day in April and road the Santana Team Niobium, brilliant bike but just too small to be ideal for me as captain.  The Orbit / Bob Jackson frame was the same size as the Santana, so we did not try that one.
