Dude, that chick is buff…
Those are some of the strangest looking biceps I’ve ever did see… Like Popeye’s forarms.
No…She’s “Fit & Sexy”
.
Wonder how long it will take some to get the Fit and Sexy comment
.
Fit and Sexy poster in the background?
There’s nothing particularly buff or odd about her biceps whatsoever. She actually has pretty skinny arms.
The girl is fine but, except for the bar tape, that is the coolest tandem I have ever seen. I suppose this is a one-off, or were these ever actually available?
It’s Tom Petty.
" It’s Tom Petty. "
Thats Huge!! Actually I don’t think Tom’s biceps are that big. This chicks’ are really long and skinny aren’t they? She could probably hurt ya though.
It just occured to me, could this be a bike for a blind athlete? I know they use tandems in the paralympics for blind athletes with a sighted pilot in front.
Would the pilot get cranks?
I just checked and it looks like the pilot does pedal because there are a bunch of rules about the pilot not being a pro
.
The cut off brake lever for the second rider is interesting, never seen that before but then again I don’t pay much attention to tandems.
What is the slot on the frame under the second seat for?
Sweet looking bike.

Dudes I am absolutely convinced that is not a chick! Look again.
Nah, it’s not Tom Petty. Tom carries a guitar, not a tandem.
Silly Rabbit…Trix are for kids:-)
“Dudes I am absolutely convinced that is not a chick! Look again.”
You’re right. It’s Tinley!
I believe that frame was a one-off …made by Marty Hepp of Oklahoma for Lemond…He a made a custom carbon frame for a friend of mune .sort of like a Zipp without the hinge in the beam. totally custom sizing…with the seat made of carbon extending straight from the beam. Was wicked looking and super light.
The only bad thing was Marty also made him a custom fork to go with it… with a carbon steerer…which broke…after my friend hit a large bump…he subsequently went over the bars and ended up with some severre facial injuries…
Luckily my friend had a very good sense of humor…and was not intersted in attorneys…MArty replaced the fork with a Kestrel fork.
