I've been thinking about a tandem to ride with one or other of the littleNs (7 and 9) , and when they get old enough to fend for themselves (and too embarrassed), MrsN.
The Circe Helios Duo in basic spec - V brakes, derailleur, flat bars - appeals because 1. I can afford it, and 2. it seems less of an investment than the higher specced models. Looking through here, the wise and esteemed tandemistas of yacf have gone for hub gears, disc brakes etc except possibly MAC who was considering a duo (but upgrading it) in January.
So... any thoughts on the basic model, for bimbling along cycle paths, CTC rides and on to 100km audaxes (and beyond...) ?
I met a very nice man on the Jack and Grace 100km, who by the end of the conversation advised I'd need a Thorn and something faster...
Well maybe, but you've got to start somewhere
