I have seen several Town and Country tandems with curved rear seat tubes. This frame may have been the predecessor to the Paramount frame. A nicer bike than the Twinn. Here is a picture of one. <A HREF="http://marsellz.11net.com/tandem.htm"> http://marsellz.11net.com/tandem.htm</A>. I also saw a Town and Country triplet one time, but I don't remember if it had the curved seat tube or not.
