"Your packaging is amazing! I’ve never unboxed and assembled a more meticulously protected, well-packed, bike. I can't imagine how much work that is, but you obviously have a system and it works very well. Everything arrived in flawless condition. Thanks for your care.
The bike is beautiful. We did a short ride on our street, and everything works great. Love the AXS
shifting. The brakes are also better than anything I’ve ever owned. I also love riding a Made in America frame.

Hi Alex! I've meant to reach out sooner, but time gets away. The Fandango has been great! We've got a little over 600 miles on it, mostly pavement, with a few excursions onto the Trinity River Levees gravel roads in Dallas. I'm as comfortable as I've ever been on a bike. Diana's handlebar position was spot-on
right out of the box. The build quality is perfect, so thanks for that. I'm especially impressed with the TRP brakes. They stop on a dime with one
finger, and not a sound. The GX Eagle with the e-thirteen cassette is also
flawless. We're loving it!

"We LOVE this bike. It is our date machine, our escape pod, our mental health keeper, our fitness coach, and the best toy we ever purchased. I think by any standard we had a very good marriage before out first tandem ride, but riding tandem has just put our marriage on another level. We have an understanding and respect for one another that we could never have found riding separate bikes, it has taught us to rely on each other in new ways. Thank you for putting us on this path - nerdy Dad pun intended.""

Hi Alex, Just checking in with you to report that we are LOVING the
bike! It has worked flawlessly thus far with great/smooth shifting and wonderful maneuverability over/around roots and such on the few trails we have attempted. After having ridden a coupled Ti Santana tandem for the past nine years, I am really liking the stiffness of this bike, too. Thank you again for building us a great bike and for all of your support and flexibility during the process. You
are incredibly easy to work with and we really appreciate that.

"We've been riding the length of New Zealand which we are now half way through and 1,900k completed. Just completed one of New Zealand's best multi day ride, the Old Ghost Road, which was an amazing ride, many thought it not possible on the tandem! We are really happy and impressed with the final product, so really appreciate the
bike which has performed very well. It's very robust and has great geometry for both comfort on long rides and off road performance. So thanks so much for making this happen, we are completely happy with the bike we received!"

Hello Alex!! Can't say enough good things about our bike. It's been in our possession for over a year and has been ridden at a minimum of every other day. Florence now has a 70 acre /3.5 mile MTB trail that Becky and I are getting lap times in within a couple of minutes of what I can do on my single MTB. To date, we have had no mechanical issues or failures of any kind. None! Airing the tires and occasionally the shocks along with chain lube is the extent of our 'maintenance'. I have been blown away with the Sram system which doesn't miss a shift even after a years worth of
cable stretch!! Thank you for getting us on to this specific bike. It's a perfect fit.

The bike is amazing! It’s light and very nimble. It almost feels like a
single, not a tandem. Cornering is effortless, shifting is fluid, it’s so
comfortable. It makes riding SO much more enjoyable. We’re still adjusting but It has pretty much everything we wanted. We love it! Thank you !!

Took her out for the first time last week. Stoker was stoked within a few pedal strokes!! That alone was worth the price of admission.
I have to say it is one sweet bike. Fit was spot on for both of us, stoker loves the wide bars. Although we are still dialing in the suspension for our local trails, the suspension is set up pretty well out of the box. The drivetrain, Di2 and Magura brakes are icing on the cake.
My local Bike shop commented on the high quality of the build and frame. I think they're jealous.
Thanks for a nice bike!

"I just took the bike for a spin around the block and it is AMAZING! It feels just like a single until I make a sharp u-turn. That, and it is unbelievably plush - in part because I haven't dialed in the air pressure, but also because the frame kick ass. The long wheelbase probably doesn't hurt, either. We're excited to commute on it to work tomorrow and then go for a real ride on Saturday morning. I'll try and take some pics for you. Thanks again!"

As far as first impressions go...WOW! I am so pleased and impressed! (how’s that for a first impression?) The Ventana is such a capable, confidence-inspiring bike! Once I realized how capable this bike is, I started to relax and we could really enjoy the ride together. Riding our former tandem was fun, but it was also a tense experience because it didn’t handle the hazards well. Riding the new Ventana, I found myself gradually de-toxing from my tension. I found myself thinking more than once on our
ride that I was going to need to tell you that you were right—about just wishing we’d upgraded sooner! Thanks so much for all your help, Alex!

Hello Alex,
One year later and we still love our GiGi!
The whole bike has worked flawlessly for us and is always
a joy to ride, anywhere! I'm sure we will continue to enjoy this bike for many years, but when we do decide to get a new bike, we
will contact you guys! Thank you again, for your expert advice with our choices and for building us such an awesome tandem with great components that have
worked & continue to work so well after all these years!
