This is a DaVinci Designs travel tandem with independent drive and a take-apart frame. Includes travel cases!
The independent drive allows the captain and stoker to independently pedal and coast. This makes starting and stopping as easy as on a single bike. Captain and stoker can independently relax, take a drink, adjust seat position, stand for a few seconds to relieve weary sit bones, even take a moment to gaze at scenery, while the other keeps pedaling.
Size small – medium.
The original owner is selling this ~2002 Global Venture tandem with travel cases. He is in his 80’s now and now rides a recumbent. The frame has some scratches see photos.
Nothing shifts as smooth as this tandem! 4 gears up front and 9 gears in the back give you the low speed and top end only da Vinci tandems offer. The steel frame is very compliant smoothing bumps.
