For Sale: Orbit Mixte Tandem size medium 

Orbit Mixte Tandem size medium 

The size of this tandem is 21 inches (54cm) for the captain (front) and 18"/46cm for the Stoker (rear) giving a height range about 5'7" to 5'11" up front and 5'5" to 5'10" at the rear. There is more scope for adjustment at the rear although the suspension seat post might need to be changed to facilitate a small rider.

he bike is fitted with 21 speed mountain bike style gears (new rear chain) providing an adequate range for all but the steepest hills and 26 inch 36 spoke wheels with 1.5/1.75 inch road tyres. Flat pedals are fitted with strapless toeclips on the rear pair only as we found this best.

I swapped the original handlebars for Treking bars but could swap back to flats if preferred. Likewise I could swap the stokers bars for a pair of drops (probably best inverted).

I bought this tandem from a couple in Milton Keynes who I believe bought it new from Roy Pink Cycles and apart from a few rides leading up to a short tour of Normandy it has occupied a my hallway ever since. There is no rust to speak of but it has a few paint chips from fellow hall dwelling bikes,
