  1. I am fortunate enough to own a 2014 Ventana full suspension tandem that I purchased in the USA.this bike is my second ventana in 5 years. If you can afford one of these, they are well worth the cost. Mine cots around 8000 usd once I finally got it into Sa. We specced it with an upside down white brothers fork, hope tech 4 brakes, sram x9 components as they are durable and wtb wheelset. Rear shock is a fox float and we have 6 inches travel front and rear on the suspension. I would not recommend a frame like an avalanche, they are simply not steong enough and they are supplied with a single crown mtb suspension fork. This is not suitable for an off road tandem. If you have any technical queries or questions, look uu a web site on Mtbtandems in the usa. Emali them and speak directly to Alex Nutt. He is an expert on these bikes and will gladly advise on what works and what doesnt. When buying a mtb tanden, buy the best fork and brakes you can afford. These two items should not be compromised, as they take excessive hammering and need to be as durable as possible. I speak from a point of experience, as I have been through a few of each.
  2. The problem with you bike, is that the frame and fork need to be disk brake compatiable. if either are, you can use Avid cable activated disk brakes, but would need to change hubs. these do work with STI levers.
  3. I have a Ventana 29er, with a White Brothers triple clamp on front. Got it in the USA from MTB Tandems. Look them up on the net, the guy to talk to is Alex Nutt. He is a great guy and is always willing to assist.
