It uses the FSA Gossamer tandem crankset, and it only exists in 3x10 configuration. I kind of like the 3x10 for tandem though, fits our pedaling style quite well, so I don't feel a need to upgrade to 2x11.
😏 i was using vintage as the noun meaning :

a: a period of origin or manufactureb: length of existence : AGE
i also prefer the 3x for tandem, our 2011 is 3x10 and i am building the 2015 as xtr 3x11
