First Filament tandem in USA
Here are a few pictures show the beautiful Craftmanship of Richard Craddock of Filament Cycles what a great guy to work with a true visionary, of what I wanted to accomplish with this build.

Beautiful paint job. SRAM electric? Very nicely done bike. From their web site I see it has to be CF frame, some of the tube joins
made me think possibly aluminum. They have a nice pix series showing how they build their own frames, a novelty in this day of
east Asian sourcing.

Gorgeous looking tandem. I much prefer the look of the Filament frames to Calfee. Now all you need is some warmer weather to ride in. 34C here today

Beautiful tandem with a stellar paint job.
What fork and wheels did you use? Was it tricky to route the rear brake hose through the frame?

Richard @ Filament routes a tube from the down tube to the rear chain stay that is large enough to accommodate the hydraulic hose thru the frame, simple to route the hose thru the frame, figuring out how he did it is another thing, trade secret!

Great looking twicer! We own a 2003 Zona c/f custom tandem.
Currently has over 45,000 miles on the odo.
At ages 85 and 82 this is our fifth tandem and likely our last.
Pedal on TWOgether!

Just out of curiosity where are you located in Florida? We are in North Port until the end of February with our Calfee tandem.
