2021 Co-Motion Steelhead Co-Pilot Med

Date: Jan 17      Ad ID: CWNEL

This lightly-used bike is in outstanding condition. My wife and I purchased it new in late 2021. It is an all-road tandem, size Medium. The color is called “Fully Leaded” and it has Co-Motion painted Team Logos in a “Veruca Violet” to “Angry Orange” fade design. The paint design is also on the inside of the fork. This bike is designed to run 700c wheels with tire widths ranging from 32-45mm. Tire options range from fast tubed road tires to wide tubeless gravel tires. This bike rides beautifully, is rock-solid and super-stable, and is still fairly lightweight and nimble. It weighs only 39.5 pounds, as pictured. It has been thoroughly cleaned, serviced and polished.

It’s been a reliable world-traveling touring bike, having visited Europe twice, as well as various locales in the US, including the KATY Trail in Missouri. This bike has been exceptionally well maintained. I’ve always used clear helicopter tape to protect key areas from wear or damage. I’ve removed all of the old tape and have reapplied new clear protective tape in a few key areas. The bike does have some signs of light use, as it’s a bike that’s been ridden and enjoyed, but less than 1,000 miles annually. I’ve included some pics of a couple of minor paint nicks and some paint wear on the inner-bottom of the fork legs. There are also a couple of small scratches on the right fork leg, which I covered up with small decals. I’m selling this bike because my wife and I just had another new tandem custom built.

    Finally, I will include an ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK that I created, which contains detailed instructions on how to disassemble and pack the bike for airline travel, and how to unpack and reassemble it at your destination.

    Asking price is $8250.

    If you go to Co-Motion and spec a new Steelhead with comparable specs, not including my upgrades, it’ll come to nearly $16,000. Add in my upgrades and you’re easily over $17,000. So, I’ve set what I think is a fair price for a really sweet bike.

If you’re nearby, we can explore delivery options.
