If you’re a site regular, it will come as no surprise that I LOVE Bilenky tandems, so much so that I HAD to add two of these tandems to my list of the 30 Nicest Touring Bikes in the World.
Stephen Bilenky has been frame building for over 30 years and nowadays has six full-time staff helping him out in his workshop in North Philadelphia (USA). Bilenky Cycle Works can do almost anything you want with metal. It is with these skills that they’ve been able to win a stack of awards at handmade bike shows.
Problem is I fell in love with his tandems then bought one. After two years and being lied to it was still not delivered. He would say it’s in paint and we want to use it in a show, only to a month later say it was in paint. Finally we asked for our money back after another complete lie. It took months with payments. Be careful!
Sorry to hear! Have you chatted to Co-Motion? I got my custom frame within a few months.
