I’m not too experienced with the whole manufacturing process, sorry! Perhaps email a custom frame builder to find out more. 🙂

Does It need to any heat treatment of these parts they manufacture by themselves?
Like cr-mo 4130, Can it be used directly after CNC?
Thank you!

Hi Kim.

There are quite a few Co-Motion dealers in California including four in and around LA, and one just outside San Diego (http://co-motion.com/index.php/dealers). I’d suggest calling all of them to discuss what the best plan of attack is for you. Standover height is going to be important for you, so I’d suggest looking at the PeriScope tandems by Co-Motion.

We have done lots of research, but cannot seem to locate a place that makes/sells tandem. We live in Southern California (2 hours from LA). Any leads would be greatly appreciaited.

Hi Matt

The cost is… without doubt… huge.

The frame retails at $2750 USD
Custom geometry adds $450 USD
The S&S Couplers (to break the frame into three) add $2000 USD

We got looked after on price, and are each paying half, so the cost won’t put too much of a dint in our trip. 🙂

Regards
Alex
