We have been looking at a couped tandem has anybody had or got one, what are they like to transport, assembly and use ? Are they worth the extra

We had one a few years ago (S&S coupled in 3 places) and it was great for travelling by plane (2 bike bags) and performed faultlessly. However we decided to spend more time on long car trips to Europe and eventually ditched it for a conventional tandem that went on the roof. Think about how much travel you'll be doing involving trains and planes - if lots the buy one - if not perhaps not bother.
