Our current black carbon fiber ZONA tandem with 34,000 miles on the odo . . .
Our custom Co-Motion tandem (sold it with only 56,000 miles on the odo)
Our first custom tandem built by Matt Assenmacher (1977) and sold it with 64,000 miles on the odo.
Detail on the boob tube on our Co-Motion tandem . . . an airbrushed desert scene.
Yup, black is the easiest color to touchup!
Pedal on!

Thanks. Front and back wheels are the same. I took the decals off the front to see how it looked, and now think I might want to put them back on. Of course, the cost of the decals has meant that she how has two different shoes, a look that, frankly, I am getting pretty used to.

OK, I'm embarrassed to say it, but this is the bike that got my attention the most. The others are all uber-cool, but just not in my immediate future. So, alas, I will just drool. However, I rode a Moto exactly like this for thousands of miles in high school. If I ever come across one in my size, I may buy it just for nostalgia sake. Had amazing times and adventures on that bike, at least for my freshman and sophomore years. Mine was the black and red with the stitched on bar "tape" that Moto was famous for. Oh, the memories.

My new black Z85. Just got this in April. Change the white tape out for black. The white was getting dirty anyway. Going to change out the white tires when I can afford it.
Not as cool as lot of the other rides here but I love it.

The good bike:

The wheels were replaced with silver CR-420s, these black ones got moved to the rain bike (below).
The rain bike:

My daughter chose the pink stuff, but it now has metallic blue bar tape and seatpost collar. Next time I change tape - not sure!

Doesn't bother me. I love how it rides, and bikes in my size always look a bit gawky.
