Santana Sovereign Aluminum Tandem XL

Santana Sovereign Aluminum Road Tandem XL
Fantastic tandem; Santana is top notch. It has been more than lightly ridden so I could not pick that category. It has been very well maintained and is much better than “good” condition, closer to excellent condition.
Ovalized tubing used to provide lateral stiffness
Has all the attachment for touring or just a great road bike.
Hopefully i can find new owners who will enjoy it as much as we did.
Shimano Ultegra and XTR rear derailleur (FlightDeck controller so you can see what gear you are in)
9 Hub X 3 (21 SPD
48 spoke rims - excellent for touring
Drum and caliper breaks. (Drum is fantastic on the long descents; you set a drag. These tandems are rockets on the downhills)
New continental tires
Shimano SPD Peddles
Chris King head set
Hope hubs
Although this tandem is from the early 2000s ithas been extremely well maintained. $2500 is well below new
High end PTFE shift cables
Two stems available
I am 6’ 4 1/2” (captain)
Comes with spare rim (not built up) and octalink bottom bracket
Suspension post on the rear
I have have two XT 9 spd cassettes for the rear. One 11X25 for when not in the mountains and one 11X34 for in hilly terrain
i have saddles for trial ride but does not come with saddles. Best that folks find the right saddle.
Never crashed
Will upload photos
This is a beautiful tandem and Santana has done an amazing job. Very firm on the price. This bike has been very well maintained and is like new.
Have a home built rack that has not been used for a while but welcome to have. May require minor cleanup and new bolts
