John and Ruth have just built up their new Beyond, it looks absolutely awesome.  The build quality appears second to none.  Really looking forward to having a quick spin on it!

Hi Madhatter

It is 29lb and 9oz.  This is without pedals, rear rack and mudguards.  Impressive?

Regards Ruth

Hi Jonathan and Ruth, how about telling us all about your trips on this amazingly superlight Tandem.  long face Make us envy you, let us dribble, while us mear mortals carry on riding our ordinary steel and aluminium tandems. Let us know what we are all missing.
How lovely it is to ride up hill, down hill, even in a sprint.
Yes Stokes and I would love to ride this Machine.
My desktop picture is the BEYOND am I sad?, just envious,really. grin Pedlar

Hi Pedlar

We only got the Beyond in May, so unfortunatley running a busy bike shop has somewhat got in the way of tandeming over the last 3 months.  But we have managed 3 trips, one in the UK, one in Switzerland and one in the US.

There are various references to our recent tandem activities throughout the site, but I’ll put them altogether for you in an article, bear with me for a day or two. 

Regards
Ruth

Yes I have read everyone of your articals, concerning the Beyond, and can appreciate how hard running a business is. and look forward to all your future articals.
Keep up the good work.
