amasendeinja Posted August 1, 2014 Share Agreed - didn't mean it was carbon specifically. Just noticed the couplers. Didn't realise they wouldn't work with carbon. Learn something every day Sure they do....tandem Calfee fullsus custom goodness with S&S couplers And yes at around 50cm that is quite possibly the worlds tallest BB!

Ryanpmb Posted August 2, 2014 Share Why split the front triangle of a frame? Cool engineering but I don't get it...From what I understand these bikes are 'travel' bikes required to be transported on a regular basis (in planes etc). I presume the position of the couplers is determined by the most even spilt without affecting the frames major stress points...?

quintonb Posted August 2, 2014 Share Leigh the owner of cycle centre has/had a custom built titanium tandem that he and his girlfriend use when the travel overseas. The whole bike breaks up and fits in a small box. It's very impressive to see. The only logical reason one would have them is of you travel a lot. It's like a folding bike, only much better.

amasendeinja Posted August 2, 2014 Share Why split the front triangle of a frame? Cool engineering but I don't get it... As said already for travel purposes only. Many airlines, especially in the US, charge a lot of money for any oversized baggage. This can easily be $250 one way. Generally the cost of installing couplers to split the frame is paid for within one return trip flight.
