New Belgium Torker Bermuda Tandem - what year?
Convinced myself we needed a mid-range tandem so I could acquire assistance keeping up with the boys. Had narrowed my options and was watching the boards and Craigslist ... and saw this 55 lb beast and had to have her. She just fit in my Subaru Forester for the ride home but she is exclusively for beer and ice cream runs. Who cares about riding with the guys.
Trying to learn more about her pedigree. New Belgium Brewery doesn't list any promotional bike deals with Torker on their website. It is the same frame and seven gears and mostly similar paint design as the blue 2012 Torker Tandem. My bike is maroon. Can’t post pic as haven’t met forum requirements.
Anyone know anything about this bike's anniversary year and the beer it celebrates?

Ignore - not tied to New Belgium Brewery
Via a Facebook group, found out this tandem it wasn't one of their New Belgium giveaway bikes. The New Belgium Brewery shield style head badges were given away at events like Tour De Fat or Drive In Bike In Movies and people put the head badges on their own bikes. Never mind. We will still proudly ride her!

You might wanna try syncing up the pedals, or setting them up 90 degrees out of phase.

Putting it on the immediately needed list.
I was having trouble with starts but this beast is so forgiving we had not fallen down.
