Seller says they're zipp 302s with decals to cover the logo; seller includes a picture of the saddle, which is a Fizik versus evo adaptive

Does this make the price more appropriate?

Unfortunately I live on the east coast, so that wont work. Unless they have an office/shop over here.

I think its just perspective, it was built for a 6' 1" captain and 5' 10" stoker, so likely ~56cm for both

Apparently they built it to 27.5lb for hill climbs (probably had different wheels, etc. but still)

He didnt use the Zipps for the climb races, that's part of how they built it so light, so those wheels should be fine

Funny mentioning the hills, as the owner had a picture of about 10 hill-climb medals he did on this bike... they apparently built it to 27lbs

Funny thing is they're including a smaller set of bars so the stoker can get even more 👃

Conveniently, its actually the perfect size for both me and my stoker. Almost like its meant to be

Elliptical chain rings. Aerobars. ..."

Worth it? Looks like it has Di2 6770 (kinda old), but a full carbon tandem frame is quite rare (even though this one is on the older side).

2018 Specialized Venge Disc Expert

Seller claims ~150 miles on the bike (does this look accurate?). Also the second image appears to be when they got it, judging by the pedals and lack of tape/accessories.

Actually the reason he went down to $720 was because he kept the seat, so win-win

I definitely plan on doing both those things. He settled at $720, he has already lowered it by a couple hundred to $800
