I'm considering selling my Santana Arriva tandem. It's in mint condition,
ridden (much) less than 300 miles probably. We bought it in 1985 4 months
before the doctor told her she shouldn't ride since she was pregnate with
twins. I believe we went on a handful of good (more than 50 miles) before
that. It probably sat idle after that for ~ 15 yrs. since then I've taken
it out another handful of times with young sons for < 20 miles at a time.

If there's interest I'd sell it. Please followup to this email and we'll
figure out a way to contact each other. The email address shown is not my
real one obviously.
Thanks.

First, it ought to be said that .marketplace is a fine place for the
second half of this message, but sales pitches are generally frowned
upon in other ngs.

Regarding the general interest in tandems, they usually have very good
resale values (though low-end tandems tend to retain more of their value
than high-end ones), but the market is somewhat less than perfect due to
high shipping costs.

There _will_ be interest in your tandem, but its location and pricing
are absolutely vital pieces of information. To illustrate why, I will
offer you $100 delivered for your tandem.

I'm in Canada, will that be a problem?

www.tandemmag.com has free classifieds. Bet it lasts three days on
there!

Sizing is another absolutely vital piece of info. I'd make the same
offer if I thought it would be a reasonable fit, and $0 if not.

Followup trimmed to r.b.marketplace.
