    Date Reviewed: February 10, 2007
    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Price Paid: $2100.00
    Purchased At:mtbtandems.com
    Strengths:The frame is very sturdy, along with the componets. I don't really like gripshift, but with this bike it's okay. The 2.4 tires are a must.
    Weaknesses:I wish FANDAGO made a full suspension frame. As with all tandems, the stoker gets hammered.
    Similar Products Used:None
    Bike Setup:Standard Mtbtandem.com set up. Check their website for details.
    Bottom Line:I have never owned a tandem. I think for the price you can't go wrong with this product. If you have a child, contact Alex to see if a FANDAGO will work. Alex is an expert at talking you through the purchase. I raced the NORBA California State Series and won the title with a seven year old stoker. If you have a child, get a tandem and get them on the trail. My son loves it! I've mountain biked for 13 years and the last six months have been the best because of my FANDAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
