JD Cycles add two more exclusive tandem brands

Specialist tandem retailers JD Cycles add two more exclusive tandem brands to their already impressive selection.

Last autumn, JD Cycles of Ilkley acquired the tandem manufacturing side of Orbit Cycles’ business. Owners John and Ruth Hargreaves say they have plans to develop and expand the Orbit tandem range over the coming years, and will be retailing their new in-house brand exclusively through their shop and website, www.tandems.co.uk . The Orbit tandems can accommodate both 700c and 26” wheel sizes, with prices ranging from £795 to £1200.
