Rodriguez Classic Custom Tandem Bicycles - from $4,699 as a custom frame only from $2,199

Whether you're looking to travel, race, or just ride your tandem on weekend rides, a Rodriguez Custom Tandem is the perfect fit for you. At Rodriguez, every tandem is custom built for the riders at no extra charge. This means that we can build your Rodriguez custom frame for light duty weekend rides, or for heavy duty loaded touring. 26" wheels or 700c wheels are your choice. If you want extra braze-ons for water bottles, a custom kick stand mount, or anything else, just let us know. Every bike is built one at a time, so it's no problem. Parts will wear out, but the frame should be forever. Why not get it just like you want the first time?

This is our exclusive double mitered, direct internal frame design that's built specifically for your fit and your needs - the perfect starting point for any tandem team. A direct internal design means that the frame has a 'stiffener' tube running the distance between the rear bottom bracket and the head tube. This makes the frame more suitable for long distance riding while carrying heavy panniers than our custom ST design.

I think you'll find that Rodriguez tandems are the best value on the market today. Go ahead and look around, you won't find a better custom tandem anywhere near this price. Now you can afford a custom tandem built by the most experienced professionals in the industry.

She's Got The Look:
You'll have your choice of four different paint schemes or for just $100 extra you can go with any custom color you want. We have nine different styles of Rodriguez decals to choose from in 2012. That's a lot of fun choices for the two of you. If you've got something special in mind for a paint design, just email us about it and we'll be happy to quote it out for you.

Let 'er Fly! with the Rodriguez travel upgrade on any Classic Custom steel tandem just $1,999 (or $3,999 on the titanium classic)

Experience:
At Rodriguez Biycles, we have over years of designing, building and riding tandems behind us. Most people don't realize that we're about the oldest tandem manufacturers still building our tandems in the U.S. This gives us a broad range of experience and enables us to create the perfect tandem for you. I've always said that when you buy a bike, you're also buying a relationship with the shop as well as the people who built your bike. This is especially true with tandems.

We are also the manufacturer of our patented Bushnell Eccentric bottom bracket. This is probably the most innovative and popular eccentric bottom bracket on the market today, and you'll find one in every Rodriguez tandem and many other tandem brands as well. At a time when most manufacturers in our industry are sending their manufacturing overseas, we manufacture the Bushnell Eccentric right here in our shop, and sell them to bike manufacturers all over the world. That's something all of us at R+E Cycles in Seattle are very proud of.

Save $$$ on Maintenance
We go to great lengths to incorporate components that will be reliable, durable and suited for tandem use. This means that the 'latest and greatest' (according to slick advertising campaigns anyway) fall by the wayside sometimes to make way for the 'tried and true'. This is all an effort to prevent chaos for you down the road. You'll notice for instance, that Rodriguez tandems are spec'd with 9-sp drive trains, as well as our Trillium Big Squeeze™ tandem brakes. These 'tried and true' components can potentially save the owner hundreds each year in maintenance. When you take a personalized test ride with us, you'll see why Rodriguez tandems have stood the test of time!
