Not a quality bike, no comparison to the (cheaper and way better) Santana's above, but look at that lovely retro paint and decal set! Just need a carpeted van to fill out the package

Apparently you really need to open the tandem ads and see what is inside?
The red Santana above was listed at $500 in title, but $200 in the ad
This Schwinn was listed at $100 in the title, Free in the ad!

Was going to buy the carbon coupled da vinci as I've been searching for that combo, unfortunately he called and said someone came to look and said the bikes were actually small so we didn't make the 1.5hr drive up to see it.

Even something from a fine builder can't generate that kind of pricing with it's old components and design.

Just got back from driving 2 hours each way to go look at and ride this bike. Unfortunately ended up being too small for us (was a custom build with a small top tube). Think it's a pretty good deal (obo) for a coupled titanium davinici with travel cases. Guy runs a recumbent bike shop and was willing to ship.
