This bike, when specced with Quick Detach stainless frame couplings
and other premium add-ons, can cost in exces of $14K.
But at least you get two saddles.
BTW, if you are even _faintly_ interested in quality tandems (even the
basic $3000 kind) then please order the free Santana catalog. It is
FINE and very informative - by far the most comprehensive bicycle
catalog I have ever seen.
I agree, if you are used to motorcycle prices, bicycle pricing is
simply incomprehensible.
