In my experience oversized steel makes for a superior fully-loaded ride. You can also find it in some of the older mountain bikes. Especially relevant in the larger frame sizes. Co-Motion tends to use larger diameter tubing than most, and better steels. Their long experience building and refining touring and expedition touring tandems is serving them well in guiding their designs, choices and offerings. Applies to larger, stronger riders as well.
