Team Titanium
Picture of Sovereign

Since everyone knows about titanium, we’ll keep this short. The other guys mix two butted seat tubes with a bunch of seamed 6/4 plain gauge pipe and a teensy pair of single bike chainstays to create a heavier tandem that looks better than it rides. Santana is the only builder using seamless custom-drawn tandem-specific tubing. (We take as much care with our tandems as they do with their singles.)

Team Tandem features

• NEW stiffer, lighter tubeset features a conically-tapered downtube.
• Breaks the 7-pound barrier — lighter than traditional carbon frames.
