I've been thinking about checking out a local Santana Arriva for me and my wife's first tandem (same color as yours!). I'd be really curious to know how well those 37mm wide Continental Contact tires fit on the Arriva? My wife and I are fairly avid gravel riders and would really appreciate a tandem that could take a 35mm wide (minimum) tire for gravel and crushed limestone rail trails.
A photo of the tire clearance at the rear chainstays would be SUPER helpful if you wouldn't mind?
There is also a local Santana Visa (light blue) and Sovereign (like a blue/purple) that my wife likes better due to the color. Does anyone know if the Visa and Sovereign would have identical clearance as the Arriva?
Thanks!
