A tip of the hat goes to reader Cary for showing us Burley's new lightweight tandem, the Piratella. It's an aluminum tandem with Campy Record components and a carbon fork, all-in-all creating a rigid and lightweight bike. The fork was designed specific for the tandem and uses a 4mm steerer and is claimed to be the "strongest and stiffest tandem-specific fork on the market." The last tandem I was on was the Cannondale Mountain Tandem, and was by no means designed to be lightweight, but it was a very good ride overall. Wait for full reviews to hit before sinking $5500 into a new bike though.
