Wow. Just wow.

I'll second that.

Thanks, it's been a great bike. It handles so well it is the only tandem I've ridden that feels like a single bike. Great in group rides and sprints. My wife and I stumbled upon it shortly after we got married in the early 90's and bought it from the original owners. We rode many miles together. When we had kids we pulled them in a trailer behind the tandem, and when they got older they rode as stoker. We don't ride it much these days, but it is still one of the coolest bikes we own.

What an exquisite tandem, @Derosian . Is that the original paint? Super cool. I have to admit, I know next to nothing about tandems, but that’s a work of steel tubing art!

No, that's a repaint. The original color was a very dark blue. Italian bikes of that era had pretty bad paint so it's not uncommon to have to repaint after 5-10 years. In our case I wrote to Ciocc and got the decal set and had a local guy spray the bike back in the late 90's. He did a fantastic job.
